Instance Caravan Escorts are Needed

In addition, and a bit of an aside from the complaint of the OP, I want to suggest that grinding a caravan for <15min and repeating is a bit boring. It would be nice if getting to a hamlet is the first checkpoint (sort of like old school racers like Outrun). When you reach the checkpoint the objective changes, and you have a new destination, survive through multiple checkpoints or keep going until failure. Each checkpoint could give a multiplier (but of course have more difficult mobs). By the end of a 2 or 3 hour run you could have racked up a lot of seals, and be at the other end of the region map.

Oh this this this a thousand times this ^----------^-----^--------^

I had one of those people who put auto follow on one of the caravan chocobos yesterday. Granted he was reluctant to help out the rest of the party killing the mobs that spawned. Wish there was some way to oust these type of players. But he was active enough to beat other people in activating the caravan...

Would absolutely love it if Caravans worked like Leves, hell even take one of my 99 leve allowances each time if you must. Anything that would allow me to get in a group with my LS and do this without worrying about people forcing their way in or leeching.

You should have changed the focus from escorting the caravan to MPKing the freeloader. Who needs seals when you can have fun MPKing an asshat?!

Server mergers anyone? How can people be so fickle as to not see that, before asking for merge? Same shit about primals. 2.0 will suck beyond everything else when we start getting open world content. You can't beat no lifers and people that get paid to farm items. That goes to all the TARUS out there. Do you know when you will see a primal in 2.0? Never!

Better go to YouTube.com if you want to see them.

I hope they instance as much as they can the special stuff. My two cents.

Screw instances, screw timers between runs, and screw the limit on how many people can enter at once.

Just let whoever wants to do a caravan run do a damned caravan run!

Caravans now are how behests used to be a year ago: everyone swarms the spot where the start-up NPC is, and within a few seconds, all the spots get taken based on who can spam enter the fastest and isn't getting any lag. It's stupid. Now, behests aren't nearly as popular, and we still have to wait half an hour between runs, even amongst different camps. It's a huge pain in the ass for people who are trying to earn their achievements, or who just want some good exp.

I'm pretty sure (at least, I really HOPE so) that the current server limitations have something to do with this, but we already have too much content that's fixated on this instanced "you must have 8 people and then you have to wait afterwards" bullshit, and quite honestly, I'm sick of it, because it's getting to the point where my small linkshell can't get enough interested people together to do things anymore, and we often end up having to cancel our scheduled events as a result.

We need more stuff like the imperial attacks where anyone can join up whenever they want, and form parties however they like. I know even that has a limit on how many people can enter, but at least it gives us a lot more freedom as to how we can go about doing things. I'll go play the PSO2 Beta right now if I want instances all the time, and even then, they have multi-party areas...

OPEN WORLD CONTENT IS EXCITING AND COMPELLING GUYS!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS JUST LIKE HAVING HNMS!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS WHAT EVERYONE WANTED :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

And since when you will get to kill open worlds bosses without a ls? What? Gonna wait till the big ls show up to ks? I hope we can pk you all.

With the new engine you can instance 8/24 ppl and do some good fights. I don't want open world rates that you have 6969594959 ppl ksing and lagging the damn thing. Plus, farming the whole day. Then you see the rare item being sold at eBay for 5 k dollars . Not my idea of fun.

This is what everyone wanted yap (myself included wooot)...but need the server that can handle it, 2.0, etc. It will be fine by then. Lol on my server people are fighting and swearing in shout..reminds me of the good ol FFXI days >.> They could always just put caravans in more areas for a temp fix unless that is more trouble then its worth!

Well if they put them at the actual level 30 and 40 camps, there are two in each zone. Doubling the number of available spots would help but I doubt it would fix anything. Though adding them to Coerthas and Mor Dhona would be nice, especially now that they're not specific to the company. Either remove the size restriction and scale content or make it like leves. Either solution would be fine IMO.
