Instanced Raids Unveiled!

Please don't tell me instances can only be entered by one group at a time?...Please don't...just don't...

If they are then the dev team is a bunch of morons.

I'm fairly certain that, if you think rationally, you will know that that is just the madness setting in on various posters. They are taking bits and pieces from other MMOs. then do that? Uh huh...yeah. By the way, I don't know if any of you played World of Warcraft just after the release of Wrath of the Lich King (EU side) but for a while it became impossible to enter instances as too many were in play, due to the way the lockout system worked - they eventually sorted it by adding new servers and general changes to the lockout system (as it had not had one for standard five man dungeons before then! Oh Ramparts, how I loathe ye), but restrictions were placed upon group sizes until they got it sorted out (ie, no solo instancing)

Same deal here I'd assume, they are not limiting it as they honestly don't want people to try and solo it, or do it with a member or two less, but just to reduce server load by not opening up extra instances. They did say that after all, and it makes perfect sense - though hopefully in the future they can let folk do so if they wish.

I'm leaning more towards this

That would be absolutely bonkers, I doubt it.
