One of my favorite things about XI was that you could do stuff in a huge alliance where rarely people get left behind (or you could swap them in if you did), or low man it. Not shaping up to be the same story here in XIV.

A minimum requirement of 4-6, with the difficulty being pretty extreme would be a good balance here. Sure you can enter with a lower number but good luck completing it. This min/max 8 crap is going to suck.
This isn't a burn, so don't take it as one, but you are aware that these are just the first dungeons being released, and it should stand to think that they'll probably create higher rank 4-member group dungeons following feedback upon release of the first few.
