If your arguement is that "Well this group could do it with X!" then I could argue, you don't need 8 people for T5. But are you going to go with just 4? Are you going to go with a full team of SCH + Marauders because Xeno did it?

Another fun fact: you DO need i130 gear for raiding now. Because without it, you can't enter. That i110/T10, i115/T11, i120/12, and i123/T13 aren't going to magically reach that number on their own Meanwhile there is not a single piece of content outside of FCOB that requires anything above i110.
You still don't need the drops. You can easily make do with Ironworks gear and WoD gear.
