Party size reduction a good change?

They should keep 15 man parties for NM's and some future raids.

Nah, with 15 players, NMs are far too easy to kill.

[Magiksmurf]

Rentahamster i know they are to easy, with my LS we totally rape em every time but hopefully new NM's will be a lot more tactical and challenging.

The 1st NM's were pretty much a test imo.

Fighting stuff like Great buffalo will take twice as long to kill with just 8 people, other than that, I'm not bothered by this.

In the outline there's nothing mentioned for an alliance, but one can't see in the future.
I suppose they'll just tweak their strength for a smaller party

That said, I hope they allow for alliances. This will cause havoc on NM runs seeing as we always have more than 8 people wanting to go. Sure, they don't take 16 but its still nice to include everyone.

That's assuming they haven't balanced the content to work with 8 person parties, which I'm almost certain they did.

Its not a matter of balance. We don't need 16 people to throw at anyone of the LOL'NMs. Its a matter of allowing everyone in our LS to be involved in the fight. I've always advocated making parties for groups smaller because the button spam is retarded. However, for EG stuff (as trival as it is) they should have alliances.

As for being presumptuous to if they will allow alliances in or not SE long ago taut me to fear the worst and never expect them to do anything that - you know - makes sense.

Uhm even if they leave the current NM as they are I don't think it would be a problem, most of them can be killed with 8 people and usually there's more than one NM up, so if you have 15 ppl online you can split into two parties and have two challenging fights instead on only one easy fight :P

Pretty much this. The only real NM that's a pain is Great Buffalo, but other than that it's not too bad. We also don't know if they'll scale the difficulty or not.
