Isn't everyone getting sick of the 8 man group for places like the Blackscale Compound, the Avatar, and the Death Watch Bunker? Me and my guildies had a great idea to solve this problem. We had the idea of a raiding party. This would be a group option (probly only useable for Master Squad Leaders to give them some love) that would allow for the group to be consisted of the full pre-cu 20. However, the downside is that no exp can be gained while in a raiding party. This would prevent groups from having 20 when they want to grind, but for those who are not interested in exp points, it would give us a larger, more efficient group for those hard dungeons.
What are your thoughts? comments?

don't know about blackscale, but avatar is easy with 8 people and deathwatch is doable with 8 people

I know all of them are do-able with 8 people, I have done all of them with 8 people before, but it is such an inconvenience. Especially when more than 8 people want to come. It is very hard to say to people, sorry you can't come to the DWB, we already have 8, especially when they are guildies. Also, events such as base take-downs require more than 8 people to do if you encounter resistance from other players. It is more effecient with 20 because you can see everyone's health bars, and you do not have to do quests for 2-3 groups then, just one. This would also help out more inexperienced groups in harder places. I know places like the DWB are not that hard, I have done them, but having a 20 man group would be far more effecient, especially for those who are not 'pros' at certain dungeons.

take 2 groups .. just make sure they each have their own decidated healer and rezzer, and make a chat channel that everyone can join.
Not saying that combining groups for "raids" wouldn't be nice, I just don't think it will be added in the near future.

yeah, I know how to do it with 2 groups, ive done it with 4... :/
I just think this can add some benifits to MSLs, and also improve efficiency for big group events, giving it an even trade off with the exp loss
yeah, i know the devs have alot on their plate, but constructive ideas are helpfull to them, and i think they are planning the SL revamp soon, so something like this would be cool for them... (ohh, hehe, i was a MSL a while ago, but I quit, so i am not crying for more stuff if it came across that way)
