Problem with that is, thematically [SPOILER] mercy is meant to be a proving ground for the destined ones, Lord recluse wouldn't let anything to dangerous run around free. Plus, the snakes god is actually a foe in a lvl 45-50 arc, so you'd have to fabricate why a Giant one, more powerful than their God, exists (btw, the 'God', is from the same vein as Statesman, her powers come from the well of the Furies)
What Xemulas said... And the fact that GMs are 105% pointless unless they have a reward. Which in most cases is just a teeny tiny badge and not generally worth it unless you are a badger or if it has a neat name.
Sad truth really.
maybe have a St Patrick type hero bust in and try to clear all the Snakes out? you see them all running around like crazy and have to help stop this guy cause he's causing trouble for the Arachnos troops who're getting overrun by Snakes?
@craggy see me on Union for TFs, SFs (please!) or just some good ol fashioned teaming.
Yeah... just what Mercy needs: a giant purple snake running around. And with Snake Charmer already taken, I guess the badge would have to be Snake Handler. Leading to huge amounts of innuendo.
No thanks.

Not at level 1-5.
I really should do something about this signature.

Is a wee bit more correct.
It is more a random encounter when people take out GMs.

True, though, I think PRAF was more concerned about little new villains in Mercy (outside of Seer Marino, Grillo's arc, and maybe the BM if cap is too 'scene' for you, who the hell goes to mercy?) getting one shotted by another GM that nobody will care about

We have that in Kings Row... Except there it is 2-3 of the same GM that will one shot the lowbies getting close. 
Kings Row is equivelent to Port Oakes, not Mercy. Paladin is level 10.

Is there not a random Longbow Ballista EB that some times spawns in mercy maybe if they up his spawn rait and give him some more buddys he could be a persuade GM.
Something like Longbow Pursuit team consisting of Maybe a EB ballista along with a couple of those EB hero types longbow (i forget there proper name) and a few normal longbow.
Story Wise it could be something like
A Longbow Pursuit team have been dispatched to mercy island in a attempt to recapture the Zig escapes
defeating the team X number of times could award some kind of badge Pursued maybe? could also perhaps give a temp power of a less effective hide.
*edit*
the longbow should probably use the purple code so that 50s cant just come along and wipe out the entire spawn in one go to get the power

Edit: guess i should read things properly.
Problem being, why would 50s come back to help out, (or anything higher than lvl 5, which is when i leave mercy for PO), come back to deal with it? Defiant Villains, 1am, let's say...the 2 or 3 people online might get smooshed, and nobody would care to help

Yeah it would be crazy for the Snakes, [SPOILER]considering that the purer their breed (i.e. the closer they are to their "god") the more powerful they are.[END SPOILER]
For other factions it wouldn't, though - e.g. at first I found it hard to rationalise how the Master at Arms of a single Rikti mothership (GM U'kon Gr'ai) was so much more powerful than the leader of the entire Rikti Lineage of War (AV/EB Lord of War: Hro'Dtohz), until I realised that in the real world Generals are often old veteran soldiers, more experienced than the grunts for sure, but usually not as physically capable/imposing. You could say the same about Babbage/Paladin compared to the Clockwork King (he's more of a mastermind/leader, than a frontline warrior like his largest creations).
I don't like the idea of a GM in Mercy (nor Atlas/Galaxy) for most of the reasons already mentioned, but it might be nice if there were events for those zones that didn't involve GMs (like the Ghost Ship in Talos/IP, or fires in Steel and Troll raves in Skyway). Maybe hordes of Snakes could assault Fort Darwin from time to time, or Hellions/Skulls in Atlas/Galaxy could riot.
Oh and The_MESS, that Longbow Ballista EB spawns in St Martial, not Mercy.
Dose he that explains why I can't find him when I've went looking

Plenty of people have had great ideas for GMs in the past but this is one of the few areas where the Devs have apparent deafness
Thelonious Monk
Or apparent blindness. Or unwillingness to read. As the case may be.

in villains we see the snakes worshipping a gaint statue.
so why not have a snake GM for mercy? and like the ghost of scrapyard have snake minions following it?
i think this would make mercy a much more fun place as well
snake for GM i say
