Almost no support jobs in there at all. You can make 2 six person groups, and then have the rest sit on their asses due to lack of healers. That doesn't sound fun at all.
The current system is a band-aid, but at least it lets players participate when populations are this low.
Forcing people back to six man parties will not bring flocks of people back to levelling, it will do just the opposite. A lot of people are levelling their x-th job just because they can. Make them jump through hoops and they'll just say screw it and do something else.
