My linkshell and I were going to attempt this for (perhaps for most of us) 1st time @ the Treespeak caravan. We get there and 2 non-linkshell players with nearly identical names are camping the NPC. We already knew that all 8 of us probably weren't going to get in, but what we were more concered about was whether or not these were RMT-esque caravan abusers- as one of our members figured, they might just run to the end and leech seals.

7 of us manage to join, and to no one's surprise, the outside player that got in immediately chocobos to the end of the route (our member who didn't get in followed her to confirm this). We decided to all quit the caravan mission because we don't want this player to leech off of our work (it was late as well, gave us an excuse to call it a night). Unfortunately, as we were cancelling our caravan status, another linkshell comes around and starts to join it... so much for messing-up the leecher...


This really is a problem IMO.
