Sorry, wasn't paying attention, about 13:00 at a guess.

Steps:
Chocobo'd out to Cedarwood Aetherial Gate from Camp Bearded Rock. NPCs at CBR appeared correctly, mobs on the way loaded up fine too. At Cedarwood, there are innumerable - my screen loads up about thirty of them - RMT characters (names like Kdjk Ssdsdf). I was under the impression that NPCs are supposed to load before PCs, but maybe because Battlewardens spawn every 30mins, the rules are slightly different. I waited around from 9:15 when I arrived to 9:30 when the Battlewarden is supposed to spawn, but it didn't. There was no chat log text as per normal from the Battlewarden (he usually does two shouts, I think). I put a shout out at the time, and other players noted they had not seen the Battlewarden for a long time (ie weeks). This problem persists.

I want to complete the achievement for 10x behests from each Battlewarden, but this situation makes it impossible. It's obviously a single group of players who are using the most efficient way to generate gil, but they're doing it in a manner that is obstructive to others' gameplay (well, mine!). Is there any way that you can get the Battlewarden to appear? I know you're not about to ban thirty gilsellers and lose all that subscription money, but if you could provide another solution (perhaps move his spawn point to somewhere a little further away from the gate?) it would be greatly appreciated.
