normally gods have a nonintervention agreement, so they can empower champions to go do things, but if they stick their finger into the mix directly then the god directly opposing them can do the same, and chaos results, look at the dragonlance series. of course this doesn't always stop the evil ones from trying, and avatars are a whole other kettle of fish.
but even when looked at in the context of our world and religious mythology, gods have always found it more enjoyable to trick, compel, blackmail, or otherwise convince mortals to do their dirty work
