How do you all think and feel about the New caravan system, that let players travel when logged out?

To my understanding it is made so we can stay close to your friends, even if they continue traveling on without you. Personally i will use this system a lot. i have kids, a job and so on to care for. but some of my rl mates dont. They will natually spend more time in game than me and could travel to a new location to explore and so on. If i need to spend my limited hours to catch up, before i can join the gang again, it could lead to situations where i would feel "left behind" and thats not fun at all :)
On they other hand its also a mekanic that shrinks down they game world, as other traveling mekanic like teleports and such. Are the possitives > the negatives? What do you think?
This was discussed back in March a bit, though there seemed to be confusion about how it would work. Some thought it was a way to move long distances (say from Thronefast to Broken Maw) while sleeping. I believe the intent is to keep you with your group if you have to walk the dog, put the kid to bed, do the dishes etc.
Probably better to keep adding to that thread and not make a new one.
It sucks. Everyone hates botting but people are okay with the game moving your character through the world with you offline(or making a deuce or walking the dog)? Get outta here. We want a big meaningful world, one we know is going to be full of contested content, and yet it's okay to have the game steer your character? No, it isn't, that doesn't mesh with the core values of the game.
Please don't make new threads on old subjects guys, we want to keep it nice and clean and easy to find information so I would prefer you join in on previous discussions than start new ones on the same thing.
