Caravan Escort

Auto grouping, can I have it? Its getting retarded. People are making their own little groups for it, currently we have 13-15 players doing it at drybone. But the biggest group doesn't want to alternate their members for those who actually make it in, so instead there are two groups going at it.

There is a group feature, where you can just jump into parties...but not a lot of people use it. I've only needed to use it while joining a jp party for a caravan run.

You don't have to be in the party to get the seals. Just beat them to the punch to join, let them do the work, and take the seals at the end if they want to be douchebags. (i'm not condoning this act, but in this case it seems proper)

Otherwise, go do something else. It's not like this is 2010 where the game only has one thing to do (lol)

BTW Spy, i love your sig. "Fabled chinese gil farmer" lol

Yup.

"This is what I'm going to do: I will get my ass to the finish line. I will AFK until its over. And the chocobos will get hurt with less players. And this will give less seals for everyone. I'm still willing to work, if everyone who's IN the actual event groups together. "

This is what I told them. Told my party to do the same. Its pretty idiotic though, we should all be working together :/

Except that the OP DID do this. 8/8 Full Party means we can't invite ppl whether our members get in or not.

Well then they need to implement alliances. inb4 coming in 2.0 :<

I think you misunderstand what Riv is saying. She supporting that, exactly. An escort mission has only room for 8 players. Same as a party. Everyone who is doing escort should be in the same party.

An Escort begins, you disband, you invite everyone who got in. Its exactly what people did on Behest when it was on its peak.

Escort is an open world event, same as behest. Spots in it are up for grabs. Groups, with the current design, aren't set on stone in any of the rounds.

I don't think you should tell people to not do anything, we have enough leechers in this game already.

You can still kill the monsters, even if they aren't claimed by your group. I know you are PROBABLY not doing it for exp so it doesn't matter. A group didn't add me one time and said they wouldn't because I beat their friend to starting the caravan. Still did my part and got my seals no matter how b*tchy those people were.

Auto group for caravans?? thats madness!! where is this feature? Not seen this and I cant believe ive missed it!

Caravans rock now getting about 500 - 750 seals a run thats 2-3k seals an hour. Got a 1000 seal reward on an 8 man we did today. Much better!

Your logic is impecable! Wish more people thought like this.

If there is a lot of people doing it then you need to be the first to sign up then all the people that got in you make a party. If you didnt then tough luck, its first come first served. Its for everyone not just the ones who are there in a party and think they have the monopoly on it. Its every 15 mins as well, jesus. Click faster and sign up to the next one.
