Party size reduction a good change?

[Tebhi]

I think that this change discourages community/human interaction and personally, I do not like it. Some of my fondest FF14 memories were the faceroll 15 man behests. The combat was weak, BUT I was able to group with people I'd seen around town or on the forums that I normally wouldn't group with. It was always nice to have the option of a large party; before, you could roll around with all the LS members that wanted to come out.

That said, I doubt my opinion matters much as I don't currently play.

Still, I cannot help feel that there aint much human interaction in 15 man behests. With smaller parties comes more cooperation and more attention to each player, which leads to communication.

Why do I see faintly under your post.... That said, I doubt my opinion matters much as I don't currently play.

Is this some sort of bug in the game?

Yeah, cause being forced to play with a small number of people in an MMO is something everyone wants. /sarcasm

Do yourself a favor and try not to ever pay attention to his tripe-laden post. He bankrupted himself on saying anything substantial a long time ago.

Having 15 people in a party slamming mindlessly on a mob, if any, discourages "human interaction", as coordination is completely unneeded. Most people doing behest were half afk.

Now I'm not against the reduction of party size, but it seems to be like this is more of an issue of the poor class mechanics and making mobs so easy they don't require coordination, and less about actual party size.

Of course reducing it to 8 people allows for a much easier and faster rebalancing. Hopefully once that is done they can begin adding alliance content.

8 is fine with me, 15 always seemed like a spam fest, you couldn't even tell if you were hitting or missing the mob half the time.

I like it. The end.

Don't think anyone is arguing for 15 man normal parties. However, not being able to include a larger portion of your LS in NM hunts is whack.

I like what he said. Also the end,
