    Hello,

    The other night I was doing caravan runs. Me and 1 other joined the caravan, as did 6 others (presumably 6/8 from another party that teleported in). When they found out that not all 8 of them could participate they choose to abandon the caravan, leaving just me and 1 other person to try and defend it all the way.

    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.

    Quite interesting that you'd report anyone while pulling your little exploits. If you think I'm scared I'm not. If they'd punish me for that over punishing you for the stuff you are doing, at least I'll be able to speak directly to a GM about this issue. We are the victims here, not you.

    I think I not make myself clear:
    Me and one other fought to protect the caravan the entire way, we were not leechers.
    The other 6 who joined then dropped because they could not ALL join, choose to wait 15 minutes for us to die, rather than help with the caravan.

    That's just the thing with "Open-World Events" It's first come first serve.. regardless if you formed a party or not... sad.. it happened to a couple parties I made and then it crumbled because some people wanted to do it too....

    Can't punish them for trying to get seals.

    I understand your point to a certain extent, but you must relieze how annoying it is when you have been out there for 2+ hours and one guys comes along and steals your spot, If you are a normal person this would drive any person a bit mad. I dont think you look at the issue The main goal here is to make it so we can all participate in the seal runs with some fairness, and make it so people cant abuse this like running to the end and waiting or putting follow on. I agree on the first come first serve in a way, but when it comes to let me put follow on or run to the end and say rude comments about the people doing the work that's not right!

    oh yeah well thats lame. sadly tho, that isn't much of an exploit as it is a personal choice. If they don't want to play with you, they shouldn't have to. It is inconsiderate either way.
