Incorrect - As XI proven during its peak with 18-64+ man content, you have to design the content around more than 4-8 people specifically if you want higher player count in said content. For example during the peak time, Einherjar was 36 players, the amount of mobs and objectives were split between the alliances, not something a single party could do at the time. Gods were tuned to be taken out by 18 people (1 alliance) and you typically had backups, say your whm dies, you shifted them out with a WHM in reserve.

It's only in these generic MMOs do you typically see "wasted responsibilities", but in terms of design? No, more people simply means the content requires more than 1 party. For people in an active FC it's not hard to get more than 8
