Instead of asking for changes why don't you speak to the animists that place their shrooms in silly places and talk to them about it?

how do you find out who has put their shrooms in a wierd place?

Not saying things should get changed, but your "advice" is ridiculous

Oh I don't know, maybe he can use his eyes to watch/observe who's casting what?

your condescending tone doesn't mask the fact that your "advice" is ridiculous and doesn't work in a keep/zerg setting, especially under circumstances OP described...
whispering every online animist would have been a more reasonable tip, and that's dumb as hell too

Unfortunately impossible, from a technical standpoint.
Not the problem with code or balancing or anything remotely to that. The Problem is that the Server capabilities/resources are limited.

The very moment the region max. shroom limit is lifted and turned into a personal shroom only, the amount of "only" personal limit of every Animist will tank the Server hard.
Even Mythic or the EU GOA Server couldn't handle the load, although they had more Money/Servers/Manpower/Resources to work with.

It is unfortunate that the shroom mechanic is so taxing for the server, which is why the region limit had to be locked, that it leads to this state of the Animist, for the class itself.
Yes, there are even other limitations Animists have to face during Keep/Tower sieges or fights that in culmination may weight heavy on the Animist.

But this is a technical issue (Server) that the class would cause if left unchecked, so in order to keep the Server up-and-running for everyone, changes had to be made.
Unless the shroom behaviors and mechanics (checks, calls, etc.) remain unchanged to lower their drain on the server performance, there will be no change to the region limitation.

People used to crash the server to protect relics when animists were new, it just can't cope with it.

If the limit is their typical 12 or so, sure. But drop the personal limit to 3 (only in keep and tower vicinities) and having 10 Animists now with shrooms up is no different than having 3 Animists casting 10 in a keep.

You cannot control how many Animists show up, its simply an uncertainty. It could be 10, but could also be 30.
The region lock, on the other hand, is certain. Something you can calculate/predict/Plan ahead and secure even with limited resources.
