Honestly, I doubt it will.

....or you could wait a few days and watch the number of people swarming caravan to be next to nothing.

Seriously. People seem to forget that every single patch day is like this...

Farming seals ahead of time pays off. Not releasing the new GC stuff in 1.22b was SE's hint for us to farm seals. I can see how its frustrating (feels like behest when it first became popular). Just like others have said just do something else for a few days and caravans will die down.

this been happen in Behest long time ago, SE should just copy new Behest entry method into this : 2 mins late to enter if u complete previous Behest/Escort.

hmm
Gridania caravan escort -> 1 small tunnel -> 10* 8 man parties -> lag like hell and you don't know which chocobos are yours or the party 2 steps behind you

Back to toto-rak :3

You think when 2.0 comes along we'll get 24 man 8+8+8 party alliance to do caravan too?

If they do that they better scale the difficulty and reward accordingly I say.

I bet those people who were trying to say folks who ran the last caravan have an automatically reserved spot in the next run are fuming now. lol

I hate to say it, but I told you so. Caravan escorts are first come, first served.

ok. then remove the 8 limit or make more of them.

also, do we really need the low level caravan? not like low level gear is worth compared to gear you can buy.
