For Artillery: maybe you are misunderstanding what my method proposes.
I'd expect a priest to do 30 minutes of generally neutral gameplay actions for every 3 hours on-line to maintain alignment at peak. Get out and play, or work inside - you make it sound like a death sentence to play your character.
For Fo, these could include tending fields, gathering sprouts or flowers, grooming animals, planting trees and flowers, harvesting tree products, etc. Neutral tasks that help the game even if they don't make the priest rich.
For Vynora, tasks could include spinning cotton and weaving cloth, making planks and shafts, handles, and shipbuilding parts, adding parts to a boat *, paving, etc. Not lucrative actions, but things a priest might do anyway when playing.
For Magnoran, light smithing, like making nails, ribbons, pans and such, climbing, prospecting, making bricks and slabs, adding parts to a tower*. While I don't include mining, I'd like Magnoran followers to get a small bonus when finding a gem.
And if you just can't be bothered to recharge alignment these ways, you can meditate for all I care.
Does Vynora really give a fig if one of her followers kills someone who doesn't have a god? If it is an ally, it angers her. But otherwise it is unimportant. She and Fo are relatively peaceful and accept casualties in the Jenn Kellon - Mol Rehan struggle, but they don't reward them. Magnaron and Libila give small rewards for killing enemies, but for all gods, the real meat is religious enemies. This is alignment, the stuff gods care about. Reputation and battle rank are separate. I'd accept larger gains from killing religious enemies, but the gods I'm imagining aren't rewarding political struggle; they want religious struggle.  From Artillery's attitudethe forums, I'm gathering that he many people really doesndon't want to play a priest or champion, he they just wants want to park one afk in a cave and have it pull enchantments out of thin air. He isnNoted. * Followers only, since priest's can't interested in improving the game, he just wants to fence off the advantages he currently has. Notedadd.
