without that, you can't expect cooperation.

besides, if we all got together to spawn an avatar, then we'd have 3 or 4 guilds in the zone taking turns pulling it. welcome to the most hellacious lag you've ever seen.

no thanks. the server competition is intense enough. i'd rather not aggravate it.

Sounds like it's exactly what most of the people killing the Avatars enjoy to me.

The irony of the situation really amuses me to no end, the few mighty at the mercy of the unworthy masses. If casual players are really using the mechanic, then it probably needs to be tweaked versus slapped on a timer. Maybe they could implement a bonus faction to spawn Avatars as time goes on.

For instance a week goes by with no Fear Avatar, the items sacrificed are worth 20% more towards spawning Fear. Two weeks, 30% more and on until it finally spawns, then on to the next rarer spawn.

It would be transparent to the players but would increase the chance of it popping. I think most people would agree there is no competition to really spawn Avatars.

That is a great solution. I'm starting Operation Druid Pimp now to see if the system does work as it was advertised. Hopefully I can rally support for my cause.

i honestly don't think anyone wants that kind of lag.
i'm sure some people will always enjoy complaining about it, though.

The one thing about that is that really no one worships Fear. Guilds would still have to have their members switch to fear and while it wouldn't cost as much, it would still be quite a lot of money to do so and sure as shootin arent going to get other people to help.

The problem is, how many people outside of raiding guilds who are killing those avatars actually sacrifice a lot to gain favor?

Then it sounds like maybe they could tinker with that deity and make it more appealing? I agree Fear is the least attractive choice to me. Followed by Brell but at least Brell appeals to crafters.
