I was just wondering if anet had any plans to increase the party size to maybe 8 or 10 for some harder dungeons (ones that are not added yet) or even general PvE, I run a very large guild and the one thing people complain about every day is the 5 man max party size, we always end up breaking someones heart by saying “we are full sorry”. For general PvE its not so bad because they can simply join us in whatever zone we happen to be in, but its simply not the same as actually being in the party (getting to see health bars, and even the icons on the mini map) and as far as dungeons, this is where the problem gets more serious, its like a constant battle to play with your friends, and I feel that the current 5 man system will work for the state of the game right now, but as more and more people make friends and get larger and larger guilds, my problem will become more prevalent. We do have squads, but unfortunately that provides no “Squad UI”, or anyway to see your squad on the map. So in short please, please consider expanding the party limit back to 8 or maybe even 10 for future “Elite” dungeons or PvE areas.
