    I dont know what it is but I feel like my luck with atma dropped below zero

    I have had 7 atmas for the past 4 days and no matter what zone im in for the rest that I need after 5 or 6 hours of nonstop farming I cant seem to get anything. I tried the jat , though my ps was in the wrong timezone until I changed it to the right one which I think made this whole thing alot worse. I don't not know who in the dev team thpught this crap was a great but as it stands it is far from great. The drop rate for these things is stupid low but the one thing I cant stand is when I farm a zone for hours and getting nothing and someone who just got in the zone and into my party gets it after a few fates, I simply cannot describe the amount of anger that I get when that happens because its like 50 slaps in the face. Does anyone know if they are ever going to iincrease the drop rate?

    Edit: I do want to keep playing I really do but bs like this is really starting to drive me away from this game.

    JAT is a load of hooey anyway. Yoshi himself said it's all RNG.

    With that said, Atma is the one thing keeping me from doing another novus. Dat RNG grind. Ugh.

    if youre new to the atma "grind", then get used to this. i got 2 atma in almost a week, had a 600 fate streak of absolutley nothing. last week, i did get 2 in one day.

    i dont consider atma a grind because it is insanely easy because fates are the basis, but the drop rate makes it very unattainable.

    I think of a grind as something mind-numbingly easy that you have to do for an inordinate amount of time.

    Yup, sounds exactly like Atma to me. >.<

    I think the sad part is that I have gotten used to it, that doesn't it isnt a pain in the behind especially after I got 7 and cant seem to get anymore.

    i don't, it's not about truth or lies it's about how you feel. superstition you could say.

    my best example was a old game i use to play where when my brother went to enchant his gear he would dance first why? because it made him feel like he was more likely to succeed then fail.

    yoshi p also said if you feel the method works then feel free to do it.

    I got lucky with my atma. I spent 3 weeks getting 3. And that was constant fate farming. Then one day, I get one, kept going, and ended up getting 8 in a single day. Got the last one the next morning. I was thinking about just skipping atma and going soldiery, but I kept at it.

    Look for fate groups in the area. They help. It's always more fun with more people. By myself was horrible.

    i forgot to include in that part of what makes a grind to me, no matter how easy or hard, is having a clear goal, which is why im going to love everything after atma. its all clearly defined, although parts of it are dependent on other systems, such as SBing and converting gear for novus, but it still has a clear, attainable goal, with onvious progress. it is very much unlike atma in every way. its too easy to farm fates for something that never really drops, and its not even certain youll get it. if it was do 75-100 fates in one area and it guarantees and atma, then i would consider it a grind. right now, its just hoping that it finally drops
