any chance it can be like the newbie school and not have time in shrines affect wilderness time or affect it to a much smaller degree. I know you guys want us waiting 20 minutes but 20 minutes 3 times a day is an entire hour of non wilderness time in most shrines and if it takes you 3 days to find your imm that really adds up and hurts.

Not all imms are 'wilderness' imms. By that I mean they cater to a vast array of players and their classes. There are some immortals who have wilderness in their shrines, but for the most part, shrines are made with the immortal's need/desires in mind. It's like building a house and making a separate room for each visitor that may show up..it is not really feasible. As Eshval, my shrine is not suited for any wilderness class, because I am more attuned to other areas, so if a ranger wants to come in, they pay the price...same with a paladin (as an example).

Additionally, you do not have to be in a shrine to pray to your god. Honestly, a little aside in the pray stating you are in the wilds because of whatever reason you choose, is fine by me. As a ranger, you do not seek empowerment, so your shrine time 'should' be near nil unless you are seeking guidance or a tattoo, and again those could be handled outside the shrine.

Otherwise, I am afraid you will just have to live with the immortal's shrine being what the immortal wants. Sometimes that sucks, but it happens. Good luck on your prays.
