I didn't find it so hot constantly dying to Titan because people claimed lag whenever they got hit by Weight or flew of the platform because apparently their mother was streaming her daily soap opera in the room next to them. Still, I went through it and got my relic after quite a long trial time.

After successfully getting all 12 atmas, swearing profusely and bitching about it, I feel I actually accomplished something and can finally upgrade to Novus and then Nexus. Yes it is a mindless grind at times but I actually did some fates I have never done before....that counts as something in my books. And you are completely independent from other players so nobody can complain about others holding them back this time around. That is also something I appreciate.

Could I live without the grind? Sure I could. But then how would you incorporate a challenging step in the Atma hunt that people won't complain about again?

I think regardless of what SE would do, you will always find some people not being happy about it. Should we always cater to them because they want stuff right here and right now without any effort? I don't think so.
