I'm all for designing it based on the assumption of 4/8 party sizes, but limiting parties to that is a bad decision.
Lowmanning is a mechanism to feed as few mouths as possible and has come to be synonymous with elitism and exclusion. I like that you have to have 8 members.

Some of the elitist shells are so unpopular that they can't even fill the 8 man roster without boxing because no one can stand them. And they like it that way because they don' thave to pay anyone but as few people as possible.

When you choose to get more gear for you than to hang around more peers, that's counter-MMO.
