I don't think a random NPC pop will do it, it only causes frustration,
honestly i don't know what the solution is, but how many times have you Seen
Rahotep, or Hatar, or Quillmane, or Whimsy Larktwitter for that matter,
people have to sit around, get a ranger or druid to track and waste
countless hours for a NPC that never populates.....I hate camping with a
passion, i love to adventure, but in order to get these " special " items we
end up in zones that give us little to no experience waiting on one NPC who
may or may not have what your looking for and then some wizard comes along
once you do find it and steals the bastard, very frustrating IMHO
