Instance Raid with fewer people requirements?

Just wondering... since YoshiP said in the past for the instance raids, if people feel like they should be able to enter with fewer people they might consider, see if it's possible to make those changes... what do you guys say about this now that you all probably done the raids?

I wish they can make this happen from personal experience it's always just me and my wife lol and although we might not be able to clear them we want to experience what others have... it's basically our fault for not finding people that's for sure lolol (haven't done the 45+ dungeon yet either lol)

I know this is gonna be hard on the server and stuff so maybe they can't do this yet but just hoping in future updates ><

Doesn't mean I want them to make the raids easier also, I want them to be the way it is; I want to see how far I can get :) (and no... not using mules/friends to ask them to enter with me so I can get in and play solo/duo from there.)

I would like this in future raids but i think it would hurt current raids unless they were modded a bit.

Firstly for 45 raids it would allow gld's to just run through and collect a number of chests without fighting and therefore easily farm the first few items

And for the rank 25 raids it would make it too easy for rank 50's to solo, and lower level players who need the gear would have a more difficult time gathering parties to help them get it.

Would love to see this... people who are going to out rank the 25 dungeon are going to do so anyways, in pt or not... I'd LOVE to duo 25-30 Toto Rak and actually make it more challenging for myself (Not to mention if you wanna do a quick simple run with a friend^^) :D Freedom is where it's at, and glad Yoshi is using that going forward "Play how you like"^^ Hopefully get this by patch 1.20 :P

Well, there is a limit on how many instances can be running at once, so if all that is taken up by people soloing/etc then it creates problems. SE needs to figure out how to remove or at least raise the limit on the number of instances, and then make raids a little more flexible.

Keep it the way it is. I'd rather see parties of people around the same rank. I also hope they put a max rank on the lower ones or something to stop people from wanting to use their higher rank class to zerg through. That's just not fun. Where's the challenge IMO

Mmm...yeah. Good call. Hopefully they'll alleviate all of these server issues eventually. It gives off the same air as "PS2 limitations" for FFXI.

Some players enjoy testing their new strength on old challenges. Requiring a certain amount of people throws a wrench into that fun.

What does it matter to you? Just because you don't want something doesn't mean you have to piss in someone else's cereal.

If the content can be soloed, but isn't meant to be it's designed badly. If the content can be trained through for rewards, it's designed badly. Put the blame where the blame is due, lazy poorly executed 'content'.

So your opinion is because you don't derive enjoyment out of tackling stuff undermanned or tackling stuff above the intended rank, no one should. Is that your opinion?

they need to cap the raids

should make it so raid droprate and difficulty is adjusted to the level of the party then, if for example one player is 50, rest is 25, add some mobs, make hp of mobs 120%, make droprate of items 1.25 etc. but still let the same things drop of course ^^

I say dungeons from now on should be 4 minimum 8 maximum. Cause sometimes in a pain in the rear to find eight people to do dungeons even in a linkshell. Of course the level of difficult she be greatly reduced with less people, but rewards should take a dive as well to balance it out. The harder experience should always be more rewarded for their effort :O

But you know some people may want to practice a run before doing it with a large group to familiarize with the area.
