I do not understand this behaviour: Rather than spend 15 minutes to win 750 seals, they choose to spend 15 minutes standing by and getting 0 seals.

It is a sad world we live in where there are people like this. But it is a reality that there are many people out there with such dishonourable and unrespectable behaviour. All I could do for my part was note their LS names and ensure that I do not work with them or help them in the future.
You have to realize that by having leechers, the Caravan is compromised of even getting just a 750. And if they continue to let the leechers get away with leeching, the issue is not solved and they get away completely unpunished. They made the decision to sacrifice 15 minutes so that the leecher didn't get his/her free stuff. How is that dishonorable?

On a side note, I just saw one of the leechers (I remembered the name) calling out for assistance in Ul'dah. I promptly made aware to everyone in Ul'dah the nature of that character's behavior in caravan missions. I don't know if it helped, but it sure as hell felt good.
