I know random spawning would be fustrating, but it would make our
"world" more realistic then knowing excatly where a NPC pops up and how
long it will take. It would almost be better if they locked certain
items in a chest deep in dungeons that you would have to be a crazy high
level tto fight your way through to get... and to hold your position.
then when the chest "spawns" again (and again I think it should be
random thoughout the hardest level of the dungeon) you will be assured
of getting your prize.
Another option which I like is to allow a character to get a lore item
once only. If they sell it or trade it, then they will not get it off a
corpse again, nor will someone be able to give it to them with out it
DISAPPEARING!!! that'll make you think! And prevent a lot of those
bastards for camping out for Crush, etc
I also hate wizards... I got a rogue friend decked out in antimagic
armour and has a bloodclaw who is going around challenging thse
"Powerful" wizards to a duel, then dicing them up! he he he
