8 man "raids" = final content?

[Fived]

Recap:
Player at level 46 runs a raiding FC of 36 members, of which none of the 36 members are lvl 50 yet, feels that more endgame content should be 24 man raids. If this does not happen, hundreds of players will quit game because he will leave.
Enjoy the rest of the thread.

How could you define it as best? Also if you look at the thread it isn't about your guild. It is all about you.

Eh, I'd just ignore him at this point. Obviously what he wants is to generate a firestorm around himself that he can smggly stand at the center of. It's not worth it and I doubt his suggestion will hold any weight with SE at this point.

I'm sure we'll see harder 24 mans eventually, when player skill is considered to be high enough to attempt such a thing. As for the rest, not worth even giving the time of day. If infamy is what you want, that's easy to get, but the infamous are eventually forgotten.

Couldn't get into it : (

Not into the entire sci-fi thing. And the semi-action combat just didn't feel right.

Seems you're just not hardcore enough for wildstar.

I enjoy 8 man raids, because it requires each person to pull their weight. As somebody who raided at a high level in early WoW, the most difficult part about 40 man raids were the logistics, not the raid itself. Raids were designed around the fact that 1/3 to 1/2 of the group were going to be bad players, too laggy to do anything, or just simply dead weight. Even the later 25 man raids allowed for a lot of slack, and it wasn't until Heroic raids were introduced in Ulduar (sort of) and TotGC/ICC (officially) that the large majority of the group was required to actually do their job.

That being said, I do foresee problems arising from small group sizes in the near future. As is often discussed on the tanking forums, PLD doesn't have a lot going for them. When there are three tanks classes to choose from and only two tank spots to fill, I fear we will see the weaker tank being left behind quite often (when it comes to high level raiding, casual players will play what they enjoy to play). The same problem will occur for DPS and for healers. Whether this will become a "this job is best for this fight" or a "this job is just crap, leave it behind until the next patch" I don't know, but either way, it won't be good.
