Or something like HO's with VG merits...(looks in sig)
<.<

But for the OP, not a bad idea. Could a new recipe set be made for multi-aspect generic recipes, but not be HO's or have any set bonuses? Could be rare like purp/PvP?
I want everything to be purchaseable with a-merits. /signed
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
Building off this I would like to see synthetic HO recipes. If members of the Freedom Phalanx can craft them let us do it as well.
It is better to ask forgiveness than permission.

Even if the cost was high, to prevent people from getting them solo when normally you have to defeat Hamidon or Statesman/Recluse's task forces, it would still be nice to be able to get them.

Why not? It will just cost 60 A-merits a month. |

I disagree. It would take away any incentive to ever do the hamidon raid again. Why take the time to gather 50 players and carefully coordinate a large event when I could just solo for a few weeks? Sure, it takes a lot longer, but in the long run, it's about 10x easier than a hami raid.

I think this argument was used against the Recluse / Statesman TFs. "Why take the time to gather 50 players and carefully coordinate a large event when I could just make a team of 8 and run the TF? Sure takes a little longer, but in the long run, it's about 10x easier then a Hami raid." It fails there, and it fails here too.|

And heck, I never do Hami Raids or run the Recluse / Statesman TFs. I get all my HOs and SHOs from the Market. What incentive do I have to ever run it now?
As for the suggested idea: I would think 5 A-Merits for the specific one you want and 1 (or 2) A-Merit(s) for a "Hamidon Reward Roll" would be fair.
Stating the post above me in my own words:

Well, the statesman and recluse TF's are pretty difficult. Not hamidon difficult, but still challenging.
What I'm saying is that with the states and recluse TF giving HO's now, and then adding them to the A-merit vendor, then there would be zero reason at all for ever needing to do the Hami Raid. You could get an HO it solo, but it would take a while. You could run a TF, but it's a bit challenging. but a Hami raid? That's too difficult, I think I'll just solo for a few weeks.
Hamidon has lost a lot of popularity. At least let him keep some semblance of reward for defeating him.

I don't see it decreasing Hami popularity. I tihnk most people who do it do so for fun rather than the rewards. Personally I tend to take the merits anyway, I always seem to get the worthless HOs.

There is also no reason to pvp to get a recipie either. You could try to defeat others but if you are not any good and it is a bit challenging, why bother. I think Ill just solo for a few weeks. |

Yet you can buy pvp recipies with A merits and purples. It is not like HOs are that much better that there can only be 2 ways of getting them.

I'm still not buying your reasoning. People currently run the Hamidon content because they enjoy it. It's really the only reason to do it because the reward (HOs / Merits) can be gotten easier from elsewhere. If they add HOs / SHOs as merit rewards, people will still run the Hamidon content because they enjoy it. If fewer people are running it, the answer isn't to make it the only source of a reward, but to make the content enjoyable to more people.

A-Merits for HO's signed
Since we can get purples and pvp recipies, why not allow us to also get HOs with A-merits?
Granted they would not be cheep, maybe 10 merits, but at least make them available as an option.
Please?
