Invoking on the gateway?

So I am wondering if it might be possible to add some form of invoking ability to the gateway? I don't think it would be fair of it gave all the benefits of logging in and doing it but if maybe you could do it once a day on the gateway and it only have you the coins and re-upped your timer for the 7 day coins. Unfortunately life is life and not always able to get to a real computer and log into game and losing the coins really sucks!

    Or maybe this option is only available if you are at a campfire when you logged out... or maybe only if your at PE

    I would be happy if they had an invoking gateway option even if it did nothing but re-upped the timer and the once per day coins. If not Im not sure how I will ever get my angelic pet hehe.

    I think they want you to log in the game at least once a day. There comes a point where adding stuff to the gateway decreases player engagement instead of increasing it.

    The ardent coins don't evaporate. Only the celestial coins do.

    I don't know if allowing invocation from the gateway would be a good idea. I have gone from lvl 38 to almost 40 strictly by invocation. I think you should have to log in.
    If they DID allow invocation from the Gateway, it should cost a portable altar each time.
    What? Me worry?

    This sounds fair.

    I wouldn't mind companion training on the portal either.

    I wish they would remove the XP gained from invocation. Not a big deal, but for players that don't have time during the week to play, it's causing overleveling to occur when combined with professions

    I doubt this will happen. Defeats the whole point of Invocation.

    I like this. Say you go on vacation for a week or out of town for a month. You could stockpile some altars and invoke on each character once a day.

    No, the whole point of invocation is to obtain coins.

    While I personally would like it I don't think it's a good idea and should remain as it is.

    I also agree that the XP portion should be removed. At 60 it's not a big deal (obviously) but when you're trying not to outlevel events getting 2,000+ from the first invoke of the day really sucks.
