Any hopes to EVER get 8+ man content?

I hope so, but people hate playing with other people in an MMORPG...so at best we're looking at 4 man content only in the future, if that and if they don't add a solo option, which they will because of said reason.

Your not even making sense here.

I'm making perfect sense:

For some reason people hate large group content, people hate playing with others (no other reason to hate large group content) and people want the ability to do things in groups of no more than 4 which sure is fine if that's what you want, but MMORPGs were designed to be played with lots of people and despite popular belief....

"Well, there's 7,200 people walking around but I still rather solo or do things in groups of 2-4 only but I can chat with them still, I'm playing with people..SEE?!"

Doesn't count as playing together. For some reason "large group content is outdated" is why MMOs suck lately, people sucked all of the fun out of it by wanting to treat it as a personal playground rather than playing nice and letting other people play with you on the merry-go-round.

It's sad but true. 8+ raid content is fun as hell in MMOs, but it seems the casual nature MMOs are becoming people are against it as a whole (hence why WoW and it's clones are doing good.) The only time they want large group content is if its PvP related, ironically.

Perhaps you should play more MMOs. Open world partying has been the norm in MMOs for quit some time. Alot of MMOs have the same or similar claiming system allowing for larger amounts of players to participate in raids, others allow groups to link to raid parties.

No, Open World content and partying has died out in the advent of Casual must prevail MMOs.

What a dumb thing to say. There a lot's of reasons to hate large group content. The obvious is lag.

Also, 8 man content is people in a group, probably friends, having fun. 20+ content is applying for a linkshell online getting accepted, and then doing the content with your mouth shut while 1-4 people bark orders over vent. Hmmm which do I think classifies as "playing with others..."

Also the only difference between if we had 24 man raids and the current 8 man raids is that there would be 2 more cons and 14 more arcs.

Lag? If your PC can't handle it that's not a reason to hate and request against large group content nor have I ever heard of that being a reason people hate large group content.

It usually falls under: "It's not for casual players, which should be your target playerbase."
