Can you realistically say people won't ignore the 8 people content in favor of doing it with 4 people or less at the chance of getting the same reward? ...
I don't think anyone is suggesting we should get the same reward for Light Party Content (if they are, then I agree that they are wrong), but offering challenges for Full, Light & Solo is pure Win imo. Of course the rewards should be scaled according to difficulty.

BTW, in FFXI there were 2 ways to get your Avatars for Summoner. You could do the Full Party Battle (with the long, often dangerous journey) or you could do the Mini-Tuning Fork Solo fight (and warp there if you had previously visited).
I don't think that broke the game plus you still had to do the Full Fight to eventually get Fenrir.
XI also had lesser versions of some high end gear that could be done solo or with Duo/light party.

This game still needs loads more content for every play style but given the low populations it would possibly be smarter to introduce several Low-Man Raids alongside whatever Full Party Content they release. It would be nice if the Low-Man Raids were a sequential prerequisite to the Full Raids. That way peeps waiting for a Full PT just need to wait for other low-man groups to finish so they can team up for the big fight.
