    Speak for yourself, 40 man raiding was glorious. So much more epic than the theme park fights we get now.

    72 might be a little much though.

    When done properly, they were great. Setting them up and maintaining them was horrible as **** though, regardless of having a decent group or not. If people have trouble setting up 8 here, hoo boy...

    If you were not in a position of authority for the guild/LS/FC/whatever in actually organizing the raid setup and planning, it wasn't a big deal to experience lol. Mindless mayhem of large groups was fun though, in general. FFXI Dynamis, though requiring specific setups and group responsibilities, was a good example of large groups having fun. It wasn't TOO bad to organize it, but you still encountered a lot of facepalm moments, like key roles having players not be able to enter because they forgot that they did it earlier, all the while the rest of the raid had already entered but can't do much because you're missing tanks/heals/CC responsible players.
