I would say though that I didn't mind as much for Scions 8 man in Endwalker because it seems thematic and it was a 10 year journey.

    My question is, how would everyone feel if 7.0 was DESIGNED from the start to be 100% done with NPC on mind? (Including 8 man)

    I'm Personally not a fan of it, base on adjustments SE made to dungeons, they dumb down several mechanics so an NPC can do them. My fear is that 8 man raids would be dumb down as well so it can be complete with NPC.
    I'd love it if I could do the whole MSQ (dungeons & trials included) with NPC's. That doesn't mean I wouldn't do content with other players. I just like doing the dungeons (and trials) with NPC my first time to get a sense of how it all works without holding back other players due to my newbiness. Then when I queue for that content, I go in with some idea of how the encounters and mechanics work.

    How many men am I involved with? Well that depends... do you mean men as in males? Or just midlanders?

    I also like that I get the chance to figure things out myself instead of having someone dorito themselves Day One because they've been running something since the servers went up and how dare we poor mooks who worked all day slow their run by being new to it. And I get to read all the things and poke into all the crannies. I can take my sweet time in the dungeon with the NPCs and see how they react. There is time enough to get thrown onto the roulette treadmill once I've savored the original experience.

    I'm the same way. I like using the trust on the first dungeon run to get to check out mechanics, take my time at first & enjoy the dungeon. Then I do expert roulettes where I play with other players.
