I actually disagree with this. And for the same reason I did some years ago. Raising the spawn rate of RoWs will only lead to players repeatedly trying to spawn them. This leads to players exploiting the alchemy system to gain a monopoly over the supply (which I could actually do if I were bored enough) and the values of literally all limited-supply event item values to become even more expensive to players than they are now. With the price of RoW going down, the value of event items will go up because nobody will want to trade off their best equipment for an item that your idea would effectively turn into vendor trash.

Sorry you can't come back and instantly have high-end gear in your coffers, but your satisfaction is not worth running an economy into the ground for. We've had a fair amount of economic stability lately, and fashioning the server to your liking isn't going to fix anything in the long run. Your idea promotes the notion that somehow rising prices on a ring that has always been rare are a result of the game mechanics and not the players, and it's faulty. Quite a handful of players have had Rings of War, and quite a few of them have quit. RoW, RoE, and other rings are set at a healthy spawn rate for being staples of our server's economy. It's just going to take them a long time to repopulate.
