    not epic. Now I won't argue that Large-scale PvE events might be more fun for you, that gets down to your personal preference. But don't mistake fun for epic. Epic means heroic or majestic. There is nothing majestic about having 20 or so other people to fall back on. That implies your weak. And likewise you cant be a heroic when you and 20 or so of your friends are ganging up on something.

    Imagine the hardest Large-scale PvE event yo have ever encountered, and then Imagine only 4-8 people doing it. Now imagine that the devs dont lower the difficulty, and yet you can only use a party of 4-8 people and you win. Tell me thats not an epic. Tell me thats not heroic. Now Imagine 20 or so people going to do the same event, and they win.......... How much respect do you have for their skill? I wouldnt have any for them, would you?
    Really?! You can't be serious.. I love how you like to put words in my mouth because that is not what I said. Do you not understand that they could scale the difficulty of dungeons accordingly to how many players that are in a raid.

    Let's just use WOW as an example since everyone compares this game to ffxi and wow. They have 10 man and 25 man raids generally. If you think you are skilled enough to go into a 25 man with less than 19 people then good for you. You know what you get for doing something like that? An achievement! That's what you want correct? To feel heroic that you accomplished something in a smaller group by doing big scale events that are difficult.

    By going into a "capped" raid with a smaller group then intended either makes the guys entering idiots or skilled. With that said is it heroic? Possibly. Is it epic? Hardly. Epic can be based solely on content. Fighting a wyrm/dragon for the first time ever can be epic. It all depends on the scale of the fight. A tank and spank is not epic whether with 4 or 20 people in my opinion.

    I want to ask you this first, do you have a linkshell and is it a bigger linkshell? Do you want to raid with your linkshell members and do you want to group up with different members occasionally or take the same people all the time?

    Lastly why do you worry about what others do? Do you think they care if you respect them or not. If they are having fun and are enjoying themselves that's all that matters.
