While the smaller group size makes for better planning and execution in theory, it is just too small. Would adding 2 more spaces into groups really negatively affect SOE's vision of grouping? Guild functions have been hit very hard by this change causing people to not be able to play because they are limited in what they can accomplish once a group is full. With the dependence upon grouping to accomplish anything meaningful in game, adding two more spots in a group would go a long way to include many more people in the devs vision of grouping for success and fun.
I think we should increase group size to 10 outright or add some kind of game mechanic that can increase group size (such as giving Squadleader a skill to add additional groupmembers when they lead a group).
Going from 20 to 8 was much to drastic.....going from 20 to 10 would make much more sense.

I just explained this in another thread. It won't happen, the Devs said they would not increase group size any larger than it is currently. See the other thread for more details.

And as a sidenote, once the raid system goes in, it will rule this all moot anyways. You should be able to have raid loot options so that any group in the raid can have loot rights, just like groups can have. Plus it shouldn't kill your screen when it comes to the UI since you will most likely just see your own group window. (With hopefully a toggle window for the entire group for healers)

the screen in the old sys worked fine, it was resizable.

You're right, in the old system it was resizeable. When they did the Combat Upgrade though they had to redo most of the UI when it come to the window. They added in the lower portion for the buff bar and a few other things so the window isn't resizable anymore. (Which I think the length might be a bug, but horizontaly is probably intentional.) So if you put too many on it now it'd go off the screen really quick.

Right again, and I hope that it will eventually be resizeable again, but you can still only shrink it so much.
As for the raid thing, as far as I know it's still in concept / development and isn't scheduled for release. It's just being worked on, I'll see if I can get some type of update on it though.
