With the Vah, fencing, Newport Insignia, the MQ, Faction quests, Deity quests, and the new release of Oggok mines to all levels, I feel that there is now a large amount of alignment quests available, even more potentially coming with the release of Kaezul.
I believe that this makes maxing ones alignment for the bonus very much easier to do then it has been in the past.
When I first started SoD, I diligently read up on all the lore and what I could find in hints and tricks about what to do when making a character. One part in particular, on Deities, via http://forum.shardsofdalaya.com/showthread.php?t=11365&highlight=diety&page=2 really intrigued me.
At the time I thought this was part of how it worked, and chose my goddess, Shiriti, with that in mind. Later, after finding out this hadn't been implemented, I had no choice but to swear pariah when my guild needed help to raid the plane. After a lot of time investment, I rose through the tiers, and upgraded all the items I earned there. My issue is, with the increasing line of changes and additions, older players who had to slowly work through the tiers and are now afflicted by Pariah and Divine Light are being pushed to the waste side. Alts and players who came later don't have this problem. Pariah and Divine Light now pale even more in comparison to the benefits of swearing Enthann, that gives both a sweet aug & now an almost guaranteed 20% deity specialization boost.
I know a lot of others who have had the same experience with deity swearing that I had. Its been over a year irl since I made the noobish mistake of turning pariah.
Basically, I feel that players should be given an option, after a certain long period of time (like a year real time), to potentially re-swear to the deity they had forsaken. The cost being all the items they might have found there, along with a hefty amount of work to regain their status once more.
All I ask is a way for players who made this mistake, to, after a time, be able to redeem themselves, and obtain the benefits now being made much easier to max with the release of all these new zones and quests.
