Why change it? Because its 10 years later and the same formula is clearly showing its issues throughout this entire expansion. Or would you like another reason?If you want the actual BiS, yes, you are forced to do it on most jobs, if not all. High-end raiding in this game was always about 8 players. Why change the formula when you built a raiding community around 8-man content for 10 years?
Also what you've said in the beggining is completely wrong. There's a chance some pieces from Chaotic will be Ultimate BiS(they are now), so stating that they'll become outdated is completely wrong.
There are many things this expansion is doing wrong, but I don't recall the fact that we have 8-man raids being an issue at any time. The FFXIV raid community was built around 8 people raiding. If you change what isn't broken in the formula, you'll lose even more players. Especially considering the bad things are getting worse already, like job homogenization, game balance and linear/predictable MSQ quests.
But, there was a demand for a 24 person raid, just not at this difficulty. You're coming at them for making a raid with the amount of players than the community actually wanted. Do you want them to listen or not?There are many things this expansion is doing wrong, but I don't recall the fact that we have 8-man raids being an issue at any time.
