Fully Customizable GC Platoon?

Noob Moment!

What's a platoon? =D I've looked on Google but all I'm finding are mentions to it, without a real detailed description of WHAT it is.

From what I have read online, its GC NPC that you train, which can be used instead of players when doing Duty Finder content. If you have played Guild Wars 1, think the Mercenary from that game.

That... would... be... amazing. I still play Guild Wars 1 to this day just because of my love of that mechanic. I never in my wildest dreams imagined I'd see such a mechanic come to pretty much any other MMO, much less XIV.

I have become cynical after all these years MMOing, and feel like whenever I hear about something really cool that there must be a misunderstanding and the actual implementation is probably a lot more boring. =D That said, I am very hopeful that this is case because hooooooly crap that would be awesome.

Thanks!
