So in the midst of all the hype, I noticed something near the end of the benchmark: When they are about go fight the dragon, the Dragoon's party is cheering him on...all 8 of them, even though a maxed (non alliance) party is 8, counting the Dragoon there are 9 there.
Is this pointing to possibly having dungeons and the like having more than 8-mans, or am I just overthinking it?
