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

[Molly_Millions]

Well, I admitted it was very bad right from the start =P.

But my main point still stands. I don't see anything inherently wrong with a party not wanting to do caravans with an outsider, even if he got there first, and I wouldn't call people who do not invite these people / ask them to leave / leave the caravan area / etc "douchebags".

They aren't doing anything wrong by wanting to do caravan only with their members, and I also think that in these situations, the solo guy should have some common sense and leave the caravan. Maybe try to get another group to do it with him, but not screw up the current party because they don't want him. No one is forced to accept him into the party; heck, as I mentioned, the solo guy wouldn't even be able to do it without a group in the first place, and most caravan groups are planned in advance, unlike behest.

Someone getting there and wanting to get in an already formed party is basically saying: "Well, you don't want to do with me? Tough luck bro, you either do it with me or no one does it at all".

You're ignoring the fact that the escort missions were designed so that nobody could reserve a spot. It's designed that way to force people to take turns. I'm sorry, but people can cry about it all they want, it's first come first served.
