8-players group as the main core to chase content- fail

lol, this guy would have been REALLY lost in EQ with our 72 man raids...

I know, shocking, 6-7 nights a week we were able to find not only 7 other people, but 71 other people and raid for 5-8 hours a night.

I cannot even fathom how finding 7 other people is difficult...

We raided 6 nights a week and always had people on standby lol... of course there were lots more raids, dkp.. and the raids were much longer....

Raid dungeon in FFarr- is CT. Raid dungeon (in my opinion) is a kind of dungeon, where mistakes of some players are not visible. You can agree, that in CT 1/3 of players can just stay and do nothing (I'm not talking about pushing buttons- it is very simple)- other 2/3 players will do all the job. And yes, in such kind of RAID you can take any player- very easy to find. But I repeat, that my 1st post was about main content dungeons, first of all high-end hard core dungeons where mistake of just one player very often means wipe. Such dungeons (and trials) are not raid dungeons (CT is a raid dungeon)- they are CONST-PARTY dungeons (I hope you all know what is const-party). All I want to say- 8-player group is too big formation for stable party- const-party. It is a biggest SE's mistake to make such big formation for const-parties to chase content
