    I wish the game would just auto-join you to a caravan party, since it limits you to 8 people anyway. You can't be a member of a party when signing up, and it adds you to a party once you're in. When caravan ends, that party disbands so everyone can join the next one, which might already be forming if you made plenty of stops.

    And if we're talking about wishes here, I'd love some sort of tab where I can see the status of every caravan: how many people are signed up, when the next one begins, etc. so my light party doesn't have to teleport around to find one that will hopefully accommodate all of us.

    For an event that only allows, at most, 24 people* to participate at any given time, it would be nice to have a way to organize people prior to blindly wandering into a camp and hoping for the best.



    * 24 counting only the 45+ caravans; 48 if you add the lower level ones.

    I love this idea. The worst caravan experiences I have had were when I joined an escort only to have another group of people join and refuse to invite me because they already have a full party. The problem is that they formed up in Uldah and 3 out of the 8 players hadn't even arrived at Drybone yet. The run starts with less that 8 players and the full group still won't drop a player and invite you. Once I even offered to drop after one run so that their player who hadn't arrived yet could jump in the next run. Auto-party for something like this would be really awesome.

    I think sometimes people think that if they join up in Uldah, they automatically get the right of way as soon as they port in over anyone who might have been out there doing escort runs for an hour.

    Oh I got into these party claim war situations too 4v4 or 5v 3
    So, base on what I see... feel like whoever get the most that pt get credit..
    Drybone is such a special place that individuals go there and sign up like a pick up group place.
    So, at least in my server, people don't form a group then go to drybone...
