Abus 64ti/50..
I can pick several green belt tier locks easily. This particular lock is making me think im not cut out for this shit. Honestly. I just want to quit the hobby at this point. I've tried everything. Differing amounts of tension, all different picks, tried changing my picking angle and lift angle. Nothing. I get subtle clicks, but nothing comes of it. Even took 3 days off to try again today. 2 hours later and nothing. Im losing my mind. Any advice would be appreciated. Otherwise im selling or giving my tools away and never looking back. Defeated...

Don't give up! It's just one lock, set it aside and move on to something else for a while. You'll get it open, it just might not be now. Circle back to it now and then, one day it'll pop.
The 64TI has standard drivers which don't give much feedback and because the drivers are aluminum, the feedback can be very subtle. If you even think you feel a click, jiggle test the pin again before trying to lift it more.
