I'm afraid you have to be same allegiance or maybe I'm just reading the following wrong.

speak to the NPC representing your organization stationed at the following aetheryte camps:

The Maelstrom: Camp Bloodshore
The Order of the Twin Adder: Camp Tranquil
The Immortal Flames: Camp Horizon

Where was this confirmed? I haven't heard about it. It sounds like there are 3 different caravan escorts. Bloodshore, Tranquil & Horizon. Why would someone who has Immortal Flames (Horizon) help me do my Maelstrom (Bloodshore)

as much as im all for new content, im not sure why so many people are loving stop and kill, then move, then stop and kill...rinse repeat...then repeat later quest. I can garuntee you people will get sick of it pretty fast.

Because it's real or as they stated the carts run off and you will have to reorganize to move forward? I don't know but honestly if caravan guards did their job correctly they would stop the menace from getting close enough to scare the chocobo's away and the caravan can keep moving. I know this is a irl scenario but caravan's don't keep moving when they are under attack and leave their guard behind, because they might be going into a trap where everything will be lost.

edit: also the fact that if it kept moving and took you awhile to kill the attackers then you would have to hunt down where the caravan went to and catch up... so that's why they have them stop so it is at the pace of the player, or party.

I doubt that, the level might be much higher than 20 since the "player" characters shown are decked in high level gears, and to r20 Camp only because *coughs* they are the only camps under attack by Imperials at the moment, hence the need for supply as they are our current "war front".

Very true as an irl situation. However the not-realistic situation often happens in other movies and games and makes it more exciting.
The cart stopping could get quite difficult though, if the enemies spawned at a constant rate the players would have to fight harder and faster to drive them off and continue, this could be good or bad, depending on how many players are involved...

Cool. Some content.

Guess Bombard Event was a rehearsal for this.

somewhere in devs post.

Chances are you won't run into someone that wants to do Horizon at Limsa Lominsa, same as how you won't run into someone that wants to do Ul'Dah leves in Gridania, but if you have friends in LS that wants to help, i don't see how is that stopping them, kinda like people that doesn't have leves but wanna join in a leves run.

Ya, I would also like to see it scale in difficulty with the amount of "guard's" there is in the party! 1 player there is a decent amount of mobs but not unreasonable for 1 to take care of, but still a threat. Then with 4 people there is more mobs and a bit tougher! This is probably wishful thinking but it would make it fun, also if they had 3 or 4 different event lines for a escort mission so that it's not the same thing over and over again...

Further confirming you have been living under a rock for the past few months.
