ATMA nerfing - An addressal to those who object to it.

What i do care about is that I am receiving more reward for the time i put in than someone else who put the same amount in - but you cannot and will never see that, so kindly find the exit to the topic on the left, don't let it hit you in the face as you walk backwards out of it.

Aren't you just a sweetheart?

I do see it's unbalanced, and the grind isn't equal.
This is entirely the point of this system, though.
It was never supposed to be balanced. SE knows how to make direct balanced systems (Animus, Nexus, and arguably Novus), and they purposely chose for this one to be PRNG based.
It's not fair, and they don't really intend for it to be. They intended for it to serve a distinct purpose at a specific period in the game's lifespan.

It forced users to populate the overworld running content that would be virtually abandoned otherwise.
Notice Atma was timed to align with the PS4 release, when a new surge of players were coming in.

If it was a fair, straightforward thing, then the same behavior as usual would prevail: People would zerg through it in a matter of hours, and the content would be abandoned again, and the open world would be deserted once again, popular endgame AFK zones nonwithstanding.
It creates a treadmill with no defined time allotment, and a non-distinct barrier to progression. It keeps people out in these zones whether they want to be or not.
I get that. It drives some people nuts. I'm not one of those people, you obviously aren't a fan of anyone who isn't those types.

My post was just to state this system is a lot more bearable if you keep your head down and just do it and try and enjoy yourself without obsessing and complaining.

It's a video game. Have fun. Ease up.

You may very well be right, but there's no reason to keep the system around now. Especially as heavily RNG as it is. If you implemented my system from the start, it'd have the same effect at populating low level zones :P. Also, a bemusing anecdote: I had multiple PS4 players tell me they lost interest in the game because "end game is so boring, all I saw was raids of 30 people killing level 10 npcs.".
