please remove 4 and 8 man min req for raids

Please remove the minimum level requirement for the raids.

I do not know the reasoning behind having a minimum, but it keeps me from logging in every time I think about having to wait to get a party together to enjoy the new content. Give full parties a party bonus or incentive to come together to do raid content (the main one i can think of is actually beating the raid), but don't make 6-7 people wait around for an hour with a search function that's overly complex (ever heard of an ALL category) to find additional people. the shout traffic in Ul'dah alone will cut in half.

No.

Also, no to removing minimum. Don't want R50's solo-ing through the R25 dungeon and taking spots, don't want R30s whining about how it's too hard to solo ("BUT THEY WON'T" yes they will), don't want solo groups to take up space because there's a limited number of instances the server can handle.

Why are our instances filling up so easily other games I have played would let you lowman/solo dungeons and almost never had issues with the dungeon being full. Why is SE having trouble with this?

Other games I see have more than 2 instances to spread the population between.

Because its SE.... They have trouble tying their own shoelace.

Because its SE.... They have trouble tying their own shoelace.

Yeah... Huge company. Highly successful. One of the few developers in the world who are in the position of being entirely self-funded and don't rely on outside investors. Several hit game series, including one of the most popular in the world.. A major publisher as well.

But you're right...

They're totally incompetent because they make decisions that certain people disagree with. They couldn't even tie their own shoe-lace.

Of course.

I swear, the amount of ignorant vitriol spewed on these forums sometimes by some people is beyond pathetic.

If they're so incompetent to you, then why are you still around, other than to troll their forums?

Better yet... Instead of spouting off nonsense like you know what the hell you're talking about, perhaps you and the other know-it-alls on this forum (Neptune and co.) could go get yourselves organized and create a MMO of your own, since you all apparently have so much more wisdom and knowledge in how to "correctly" create a MMORPG. Go for it.

Show us how much more "competent" you are than SE in making a game.

This.

The instanced raids have been specifically balanced with parties of 4 or 8 as applicable in mind. If they were to lift that concept, they would no longer have the restraining parameters in which to create these environments, which is what leads to a more favorable design-environment.
If people could solo it, they'd also have to make it solo-able, which would defeat the purpose of having it the way it is.

[Fated]

Yea, the problem right now is that there are only two dungeons.

I don't think it'd matter much for the R25 because most people don't even run it anymore, but the R45 would end up with some major que times.

[Xenor]

I agree they should be lowered somewhat but not much. You can beat the R50 dungeon with 7 fine, 6 possibly for a great group. But any lower is going to be a bit too much I'd think. So require a minimum of 6 for that one. The R30 dungeon is irrelevant, it was fail from the moment SE decided rank 50s can enter without being capped at 30.
