I would like to suggest a solo PvE farming option. Some of us just dont have the time, or attentiveness(constantly have to afk for personal reasons) to do group runs or raids. It would work similarly to how eggs work on Phoenix.
1. Must be lvl 50
2. Mob must con yellow or higher
3. Limited to xx amount of mobs (or feathers) per hour
If you figure the average feathers per hour in say raid/legion is roughly 8-10k an hour(except galla, sorry hibs). So make it say 2-4k per hour.
For example, if it was 4k max an hour, and the mob drops half its lvl in feathers (so 25 feathers for a lvl 50 mob, increasingly more for higher lvl mobs and significantly less for mobs under 50), that would mean 160 mobs in 1 hour. It would give us casuals and soloers the ability to farm feathers in PvE. It's still low enough not to be efficient vs grp or raids, which is understandable. I would much rather spend 5 hours of my week solo farming feathers for a raid item than how its forcing me to group which I just dont have time for in a single window of playtime. My only other option is to farm plat which is needed for other things like alch, SC, gear, pots etc..
Edit: I would even be ok with a /feather command that makes mobs only drop feathers but no loot or gold to offset any kind of economic impact.
