So What's The Deal With This "taxi" Thing?

[Hexerin]

You mean like in chat?

It's often yellow. And frequently smells like &#!.

people will say something like "just have someone taxi you there"

[Zinthir]

It's just inviting a player to a node he hasn't unlocked yet so he can get the rewards without taking the time to unlock the node, usually for a high-profit alert.

[Bloodywing]

Just players asking for help to get to special alerts that they need, etc.

so like could a person use a 'taxi' to farm frame BPs from bosses?

Yes

1) Someone taxi newbie to a high level mission

2) Newbie gets node opened

3) Newbie decides that he can get more shared XP on a hight level mission than XP he can earn by himself on a low rank mission

4) High rank player gets 3 useless low rank players on a hard mission

5) ???

6) Profit?

 

Not sure what was you point in this topic, though.

About the only thing I can add is to differentiate a carry from a taxi.  

Taxi - When someone who has unlocked a node runs the mission once with a player who does not have the node.

Carry - When an experienced player runs multiple missions with a lower level player in order for the lower level player to farm parts/resources etc.

Most of the time, when a vuab alert, or a rare nightmare mod alert is present, people who can do the mission will advertise in chat for people who can't otherwise get the item to join them.  Taxi'ing is just being nice really.

Hello and welcome to Warframe! Please enjoy your stay.

wait, so if someone provides taxi to a node, clears it once... the node is unlocked for that person to use even without the taxi?

You just have to play a mission to unlock it, so yes.

well that's pretty neat. hopefully this doesn't get patched out as an exploit (even though it sort of feels like it is).

It has being ongoing since last year when I joined.

So I don't think it's a loop hole.

 

Just think of it as Content Rushing ala the old diablo 2 times.

But do note even if you unlock the node via taxi/carry, it doesn't mean you are anywhere close to capable of fighting there.
