From an MMO standpoint, implementing a tent is an awkward thing.

The only way tents would be viable other than as a weird AFK emote is if there was a situation in game that called for a player to need one. Like a dungeon that was overly long and had to be completed in phases (as someone suggested). But the game is already strewn with options that allow you to leave the game quickly, and/or heal up quickly. Large maps are dotted with crystals to warp to and return to upon death. There's no long journeys for us to take that would require a tent. Unless the game were to be redesigned around them, tents wouldn't be able to serve much purpose.

Not saying I wouldn't be for an AFK emote that turned me into a moogle tent.



because that'd be a Goobbue-riding level of cool.

Besides, when you think about it, you already have tents. They're the huts surrounding every crystal camp. You just can't use them.
