I just think that doubling the cost would be a fair trade to upgrade you avatar once you summoned them, but SE could always make a smn trait that cuts down avatar costs once you reach certain points. Thing that gets me is i have full +2 and use titan's staff +2 and i only get back a max of 3mp/tick while he is out, seems to be the cap you can get with full refresh gear on T.T

The actual max of the amount of trait Refresh you can get back is +1. That is counted after perp cost is down to 0, but refresh trait still counts first, at least Auto-Refresh 1. You can get perp cost down to 0 at 90 by having a staff with -3 perp down (HQ elemental staves, Bahamut Staff, or Fay Staff with augumented -3 perp), Evoker's Ring, Emp+2 body and feet, and Emp+1 horn (Emp+2 horn would give you +1 refresh for having avatars out). If I got -4 perp staff or higher...err...lower...you know what I mean, then the max refresh I could get back would cap at +1 (+2 with Emp+2 horn).

Although the BP- is a nice bonus, it really isn't worth getting 8 TotM 90 staves unless you already spent the time getting them to level 85 status (which most SMNs did btw). But you don't need the TotM staves to get free avatars at all.

Adding the "double cost" part would make it impossible for SMNs to have anywhere near free avatars anymore. Including the TotM staves and the -1 perp pants from the Beyond NM.
