Instance Caravan Escorts are Needed

It's retarded how many people just teleported across Eorzea an couldn't get into a caravan lets just say 3000people on 1 server all trying to for there are only 24 slots PROBLEM ?

lol I just was going to post this, This is an issue on Balmung right now too, and will continue to be...

Though instancing is nice sometimes, its also nice to not have EVERYTHING in the game instanced. A lot of MMOs nowadays seem more like Counter Strike or something, where "town" is more like a lobby where you wait for instance queues to pop and teleport you off.

This Just in Caravan's are the new Ul'dah! o.o

It's probably only 600-1k max per server but i get your point lol

Content like this needs to be instanced if there is a large influx of players.
Such as we're experiencing now.

All we're going to get is people spamming enter/botting.
Not allowing groups to take turns. Etc. Etc.

You can't do Open World Content successfully these days when people don't do fairplay.

We aren't talking about having it off in it's own little cave or something, it'll still be on the main map. Just have it be instanced like a leveQuest is, so multiple parties of 8 can take advantage of it. Honestly I don't know why it is not already like this.

2.0 wont have the issues we have now. another instance in the game. aint people tired of going in little timed worlds by now?

yeah you can SE need stop with the retarded limits and scale content. hell sega did it in PSO back in 2001 get 4 players and get 4 times the monsters even though thats instanced it still scaled.
SE should be able to have 1000 players in a open world and have a mass caravan swarm. the technology is there but are they gonna use it is the question.

Well it was just announced how much seals you need for the new stuff, it's going to be expected that all this stuff is going to be flooded with people.
Just be patient, it'll die down eventually.

It should also be mentioned that players are going to burn out incredibly fast on their quest for seals with the limited ways they can be earned.

Everything in this game seems to require so much repetition. =(
