Does anyone else feel the 8 man ops are limiting as far as group comp goes and cool mechanics they can add? I feel like operations would be much better if we had 12m and 24m sizes for instance you could have 1 of each healing class still 2 tanks and a more diverse dps group. Anyone else feel the same way?

Nope.

It is easier to get group if there is less people required.

 

However I feel that this game should have started same as WoW.

 

For example:

I started playing WoW around early TBC. What we did had in terms of raiding?

Kara - early raid.

Gruul lair and Magtheridon - tier 4

Tempest Keep and Serpentshrine Caverns - tier 5

 

Gruul and Maggy were only 25man raids. To get to raid you had to join a 25man raiding guild! There was no other way around it.

 

 

Perhaps if SWTOR had same mechanic we would see bigger guilds. But that's just my opinion.

So run 16-man.
