    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.

    Well on that note, I think huts surrounding crystal camp should be functional. This will bring more life to those static camps. Have the huts bigger and function like an inn, that if you logout in it, you get exp bonus. But this is quite a dilemma if you only receive 4 Guildleves, there's really no reason to hang around in the camp.

    Having an inn at camps works in WoW because they have quest chains and long quests given by NPCs at the camp. On that note, NPCs at camp should also offer some quests. Also they can offer automatic chocobo rides that connect between each camp.
