While I think those numbers are completely distorted to start with, you're harkening back to 40 person content; 10-25% of an 8 person group is basically 1 or 2 people. While I guess I can see avoiding drama as a noble goal on some level, you're basically asking for an environment where you're looking for nothing more than warm bodies for most content. Or warm bodies who are on different loot tables. That just doesn't sound like a particularly healthy or fun MMO to me. While we're on the subject of WoW comparisons - one of the larger criticisms as it became more 'accessible' was that server communities just kind of died as content became focused more and more on single player activities.

I dunno, feel free to call me an elitist, but I prefer content that rewards teamwork; as I keep going through this thread it just seems like the 'rope jump' isn't so much the complaint as the 'team' element.
