Fix ATMA drop [LIKE] Thread

[Odd]

It had been a while since it took me almost 2000 fates to get my Atma. So long in fact, that I started looking at it through rose coloured glassed. I was telling myself it couldn't have been as bad as I remembered it being. I convinced myself of this, and started working on a second set.
The first one dropped within 4 Fates, nice! "This really isn't that bad I can do this" -the words came to mind immediately. Then I spent 8 hours over the next two days looking for another one, but came up empty. That's when I remembered the rage. That's when I threw my controller as hard as I could at a big fluffy pillow. "This really is that bad and I cant do this again"

I want another 12 Atma for NIN, but not until the raise the drop rate.

Same feelings. When I restarted the Atma step again for my BRD, I got the first two Atma's pretty quick (within ten minutes), after that, though... the horror.

I could learn BLU spells in FFXI faster (I would learn maybe three-five spells every three hours) than I could get Atma in this game. My BLU in FFXI knows (excluding most Unbridled spells) every spell on this list. Especially the useless spells: http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Blue_Mage#Spell_List

What is preventing you from working on it casually the way that it is right now? It was always intended to be long-term content.

Because it's RNG. As I said either here or on the other thread, I decided to spend three hours a day trying to get Atma. I was in Eastern Thanalan for around four-five days.

Learning BLU spells was actually really enjoyable to me, the excitement when you see the mob use the move, then the anticipation of seeing if you learnt it. I left when level cap was still 90, but I'd learnt all the spells up to that point.

I actually used to learn them for my wife's BLU. She found them stressful and annoying. I found them fun and relaxing. Perhaps this is why Atma grinds don't bother me and why I don't have much empathy for those who don't have the patience required for it.
