Anti-Exploit Measures for Caravan (Can I have it?)

[Answa]

First come first served, it's not my fault people couldn't finish the quest in time to grab the next one. You cannot reserve a spot in the quest before the NPC pops. This is by design so that everyone gets a chance to play. I was not locked out of getting the quest. You better believe that if the same thing happens again and I get no invite, I'm waiting at golden bazaar. By the way, I had 4 people with me that I gathered in Uldah when I saw there was nobody waiting at the NPC.

There's no way you can spin it other than you're being a douche. You can steal a party's mobs if you're farming an item they drop, the game allows you to by design. Do you do it? Hopefully not. Why? Because you'd be a douche.

This is the same thing.

It's not the same and you know it. When somebody is farming a drop that I need in the spot that I want, I look for another spot to farm. If there is no other spot, I go somewhere else close by and find something to do while I wait. Most of the time there is more than one spot that I can get the same drop. Caravan escorts on the other hand, there is room for 1 party and that's it. There is no way to reserve a spot, therefore you cannot reserve a spot, it's first come first served. When the NPC pops if you want a spot, you better be quick. It's the same with roaming NMs and the same thing with behests. If you want to join the fun, you better know how to get the claim.

If someone signs up for Caravan and wants to participate, but is told by a party leader "We're not inviting you", then I've got no problem with them doing whatever. They're trying to get involved but being denied by someone else who's basically being an idiot. The issue is when someone signs up and then runs off without even attempting to get involved.

Ideally, the individual in question will try and find ways to help out anyway. But that isn't always feasible.

This is exactly how I feel. I signed up fair and square but was excluded from the group simply because I did not wake up early enough to join the previous run.

The party leader even exclaimed "I hope you die, bitch!" but I kept my calm and did not report him. I should have though.

This is not fair nor is it accurate. There is no reason someone should have to sit out for two or three HOURS because a pty doesn't want to share. First come first serve. Ideally you SHOULD be rotating if there are more than 8 people who wish to participate. Otherwise YOUR being the dushe. The way Behest generally works(when people used to DO behest), NPC spawns, people rush to get one of the 8 spots, pty forms from people who got a spot...and go. Everyone else? Too slow, try again next time.

This is not a leve quest, its not an instanced event, it's an open world event like behest.

Opening up the numbers to more than 8 members would be ideal, there is not even a real reason to force this to be a pty event. No one is in it for exp, in the end we just want the seals, and you don't have to form a pty to get those.

Don't try to pull that card. That's just rude gameplay.

Whining that someone beat you signing up for Caravan is like crying because you were not fast enough to get into Behest. There are not the dushe, the person bitching about it is. If you want to farm seals in a pty go do Toto Rak, Caravan is first come first serve.
