If this is what you want, a more "realistic" approach then how about the hypothetical implementation?

note: all baseline numbers are made up.

VS spawns roughly once a week or so let's say in a given year he will spawn 52 times. We are right now in the first week of march so we have lost 8 weeks/spawns so we're down to 44 weeks/spawns left for the year. 44 * 7 = 308 days left. Randomly distribute his 44 spawns over those 308 days. Some weeks he could not spawn at all and other weeks he may spawn 5x - who knows. That is one solution with the obvious caveat that if there are 20 days left and the year and he still has 5 spawns to go we would have poopsocking again. I'm sure this idea could be tweaked a bit more as well OR maybe it's absolute shit... kind of like the poo about to be overflowing from socks everywhere.

I'm just saying there has to be a threshold, at which people just stop poop socking. If Venril Sathir only were guaranteed to spawn one time per month, but could spawn more frequently I suspect people wouldn't sit there the entire time.
