8 man "raids" = final content?

Please, everyone go to the Oran'thul main page and watch the video of Nekrage living up to his uphemistic #nerdrage in (bahahaha) Cape Westwind. Imagine having an immature FC leader like this? Best part is when another player states "first time he's seen this happen" as Nekrage temper tantrums on the rock.

I loved the comment that he wasn't going to stay if he couldn't main tank. For the shear fact he wouldn't have been able to hold threat from that warrior.

I took the bait and googled oranthul.

I found an epic assload of cringe worthy whining about being the self proclaimed "best guild" in some game I ain't even heard of.

Weekends have their own demands. Events, social gatherings, fishing trips, outdoor adventures, etc. and yes work from time to time.

I can understand things like that getting in the way, I've always been in the opinion of real life before anything else.

But dude, he runs an archeage guild! Clearly he is a walking god and even the maths of enmity must bend to his reputation of running a guild in a nobody game.

Evenly splitting up workload between 8 people is hard enough. 24 people is way, way too many to make real, difficult content. There are simply too many variables considered to assume 24 people can manage truly tight mechanics right. The failure rate would be abysmal.

If they ever even considered this, I would suggest it be restricted to Free Companies only. Turn 9 took me ages to clear in PF and thats only 8 people -- 24 people at the same difficulty would absolutely never work in Duty Finder. But this would forever be strictly hardcore content, and nothing really survives that way in XIV, so i dont see it happening outside some penultimate endgame raid.

Shortened for space.

I don't think it would be that hard, people can mange 25 man LFRs in WoW and that's one extra DPS player over what we have in FFXIV, I think it is doable even in Duty Finder even Coil is perfectly doable in DF, It's just getting players to cooperate and communicate. Remember day one of World of Darkness? That was pure hell but once players figured out how the mechanics worked now it's really easy to clear because everyone aside from new players know what to do. All raids are like puzzles, you have all the pieces you need all you need to do is put them together.

Usually, human beings form tribal allegiances based on things that are at least mostly real. Religion, if nothing else, provides a mechanism for social cohesion and the pooling of resources. Likewise, the nation state despite being a fictive has a real impact on the world. Defining one's identity on these things is, if not ideal, at least understandable.

What a world we live in now that sad, hollow people attempt to derive meaning and identity from, of all things, herding 39 other cats to slay virtual dragons.

I'd say it's probably due to it being easier to get a group of 8 people together and do the content. When it's 24 people, there's a much higher chance you're going to be working with people you haven't before, or at least don't have the same level of cooperation with.
