Prisoner Rescue Beseiged

Yes, we plan on going out and doing a "SAVE THE RAT" run................er Qiqirn

I wish you luck in your endeavour but I absolutely disagree with imposing some kind of time limit. If players don't want to do the event, they shouldn't be reaping any of the benefits that come from it.

That said, I'm glad my old server got merged with Siren, nice to be where people care about an event that I enjoy.

Given the current situation, a limit on the time for the NPC's to be gone is not unreasonable, but that's my opinion. They could be returned after 2 weeks, dishevelled, hungry, tired but home. WG is empty, there are barely enough people to participate in Beseiged. Pre-Abyssea, captured prisoners would be rescued, benefiting everyone who wanted to get their Turbans or use the Chocobo Services whether they participated in the rescue or not. Don't think I've ever seen the free warp taru. So using your argument, the small group of people who do the BCNM to reclaim the AC when it's lost are the only ones that should benefit from Sanction, IS, and the ability to use the Runic Portals, and the small group of people who do a Prisoner Rescue should be the only ones to benefit by being able to use the services offered? Not the way it works.

We are going to attempt the rescue, not for the one, but for the benefit of the few that might still appreciate getting their turbans. Fun! Excitement! Death!

Edit: It also takes 24 hours for the Prisoner to be returned after a rescue, in keeping with the hours it takes for Beseiged to actually start.

That's not my argument at all. After all, it's obvious the whole server can't participate in the liberation of ONE captive and the whole server can't participate in the 6 man bc that fights for the AC. My argument is if people don't want to participate in besieged, let every npc get captured, and not bother to rescue them, players shouldn't expect to have access to the services they provide. It's that simple. Getting a captive back isn't hard, it just takes some legwork.
