I miss my 8 person parties from GW1
I posted about wanting UW back in GW2 earlier today, I go over a bigger team (10 man) in the post if you want to take a look.

I vote no on 8 man parties. It is just too late to do something like that.
Not to mention people already have trouble getting 5 people for fractal progression (not including dailies as that is easier to form), 8 would just increase the problems.
For “large scale” groups raiding ala EQ/WoW is the way to go. Not bumping the individual group size. If we have a combat system that supports true raiding system that works has yet to be determined.
I vote no unless it is for new content designed for 8 players. It’s bad enough trying to make a group of 5 sometimes, let alone a group of 8.
