It is just annoying.
Careful what you wish for ^^; And allow me to throw caution to the wind.

The negative really is the loading screens. But to bypass that they would add a cost, be it seals, anima, Gil (though gil is hardly a cost).

So if we were to decide on a cost so we could have sanction at a camp, what would you all recommend (instead of going back and forth on the annoyance, lets find out what its worth to us for a better location)

One cost that comes to mind is; The same items we turn in to hamlets we could give to a camp officer for sanction. Now we have a commodity that can be used for many things, but costs us something from what we dont use it on.

Gridania: throw out a number at 20 supple branches for sanction at a camp.
Thats less anima you could get, in exchange for sanction.
Less provisioner points you could get, in exchange for sanction.
Don't want to spend supple branches for sanction, go to the Headquarters for the freebie.

Really i was surprised that the sanction at the HQ was free, i had expected to spend seals on it. And in all honesty i wouldn't mind if they changed it to cost seals. Besides manuals and a rez potion here and there gear is about all we have any need to spend Seals on.

I wouldn't mind a 200-400 seal cost on sanction, the cost on the "remote" sanction scroll, and maybe max the remote scroll stack at 3. (incase of crap luck/lag on a dungeon. Or Coincounter starting off with 3 animal instincts last night! Darn you!)

Before you blast me for bringing up a base sanction cost. The reason i was surprised is because death return doesnt cost you your 15min return. Seemed like an obvious way to keep the free sanctions going. I want the sanction items to be powerful. I don't mind sanction even costing me seals for it to stay or be more powerful.

Maybe its the Ex Eve-Online player in me, but i like some risk with my reward! Heck bump that +120 to +150 and make me pay! Shut up and take my money!

(p.s. Would also keep people hitting the Caravans for more Sanction stuff, which in turn would help Hamlets jump tiers, which in turn would help all the hamleters, which would make out provision items even more worth wild)

(Make Chocobo Caravans mean more to Hamlets please ^^)
