Actually, I really like the idea of limiting raids to X number of people -- I feel like it takes more innovation and creativity -- not to mention patience -- to learn to do something within constraints, rather than just to throw people at it.That said, I think having all targets just being X2, X3, X4 is a little dull.  It would be interesting if there were some really, really high-end target that was a groupx2 mob (got to think it through), and maybe if one was groupx5 or something.  I would like to see raids incorporate more creativity in general, although there are some interesting ones out there.  I had a blast the first time we tested Anvilpaw's Grotto -- it was a very clever idea.<div></div>

Plus, we have zones that can barely handle 72 people at a time as it is, let alone all 72 in close proximity fighting the same mob. :smileywink:
