Dungeon Party Requirements

[Vhailor]

This has probably been posted before, but for the love of god, please remove minimum player requirements on dungeons, or at least lower them (to 4, probably, would be a better number).

Eight people is a vast improvement from FFXI's alliance-styled gameplay for a lot of events, but it is still larger than a lot of static parties were in FFXI, and for mine in particular, it is killing content. It's not terribly easy finding times that work for my small group (5 members), let alone if we tried adding 3.

I don't suggest making the mobs easier; by all means, if you want to make the bosses hard enough to essentially require 8, that is absolutely fine. But don't put a restriction on us even giving it a shot. Same goes with Ifrit and other battles. Forced grouping techniques have no place in modern MMOs; people should only group together if they want to, or if THEY individually determine that the difficulty requires it.

8 man requirements for dungeons, specially those related to the newly added job specific armor content, is ridiculous and prohibitive to a large portion of players, much more so at this stage in the games development. Seeing that many are either playing solo or doing content through pick-up groups, these people are going to have a hard time organizing 8 people together for 1 persons benefit. More so when only a handful of people are in need of said item in the case of job armor. I understand this game needs tougher content and large scale party content, job armor is not the case for this. Content should instead scale in difficulty to the number of people entering an instance, or just put a min of 4 people instead of a full party of 8.
