    Did they give a reason as to why they are removing 24 man? Majority of my matches have been 24 man due to the time I normally play. Cannot fathom how they have data to support this change unless they are using the last garo push and mag event as a reason to justify the change.

    Multiple possibilities exist. The current system seems to work based on length of Frontline queues times. The system could be running a rotation of 3 or 4 24-man matches at the time you are queuing, but a slightly longer queue time might lead all those players to a 72 player match. They may also be planning to include Rival Wings and possibly unranked 8v8 Feast as part of the Daily Challenge in the future (which also might partially explain the limiting premade parties to 4 people). It is possibly just a preparatory change in lead up to 5.15.

    Thanks for helping make the FFXIV community a fun and welcoming place. If you're not sure you have (and you very likely have), make it a point to be patient or helpful the next time you log in so that you can know you've made a difference.

    If you're on the Aether data center, congratulations! I might be your next exciting adventure healer in the Duty Finder. Please look forward to it.
