would it be possible to have duty support for small parties instead of only solo?

As I understand it, SE have explained why it's not possible to do this in the past, as it is due to how the NPCs are programmed - the NPCs are coded to follow your lead and respond accordingly while trying to follow dungeon mechanics, so if there was more than one player in the party they would start to get 'confused' and would glitch or act in strange ways, not knowing which player to 'follow'.

There always is a party leader, currently their only function in a duty is to activate the search for replacement players when someone leaves, why not just let the NPCs follow them?
