Can we please increase the raid member limit from 24 to 36? What are the limitations on this and why are raids capped at only 24 players?

    I would like them to decrease raid size to 12 to stay consistent with pve raid size.

    Game can barely handle groups of 12 at times never mind 36.

    Is AP having a hard time finding a 2nd and 3rd raid lead for AP2 and AP3?

    Why not to 72? Then you can get everyone in one group

    Nah. Lower it if anything. I mean; a couple nights a week I am in a large group and one of them, we tend to have more than 1 full raid, but I see where doing that all the time and encouraging it is harmful to the game.

    I enjoy the huge fights when they work, and the game really should be about that, but it just doesn't work well

    Raid caps WILL NOT EFFECT FACTION ZERGING.

    Exactly, and it coincides with zos's desire to have the least amount of difference possible between pve and pvp.

    Nah, you enter Cyrodiil and you're just automatically in a group with everyone else in your faction. Yeah, that will work just fine.

    Zos is not going to increase raid size due to the impact on performance. Further, I seriously doubt OP organizes and leads any serious raids because no one experienced with leading raids in ESO would make such a suggestion. Heck, I seriously doubt anyone who is experienced in serious ESO raiding itself should suggest such a thing as they would have a pretty clear idea of why doubling or tripping the group size is a bad idea. This is not an overly simplistic WoW game.

    Besides, OP does not even suggest a reason why they think want the cap increased. Doing it because you think it would be cool is the worst possible reason.

    Loving that so many of us want group size reduced to 12 - imo it's perfect for how Cyrodiil currently is.
    Then we just need to make healing group only and Cyrodiil will be 'almost' fixed :)

    No Thanks... I play healers on MacBook but have trouble when grouped in Cyro. This would be a silly and illogical.
