We realize that there are players out there that can, and will, work around any challenge presented to them with skill, gear, and build expertise, but we do not design Legendary Elite raids with the solo or duo player(s) in mind.
Sort of related, but there are raid groups for DoJ and Thunderholme that intentionally take give or take 8 players to deal with less lag on any difficulty setting. Raids may be designed with a 12 man balanced party in mind, but lag limits some groups wanting to fill. This can limit options in raid groups and just one reason why some groups run normal instead of hard or elite.
