We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...

Zaloopa is correct - I have run plenty of DFB's recently with just 4-5 people and you still get AV's at the end of each section. The flipside to this is that killing the AV's with just 4 people can be really hard, especially if you ended up with a bad team mix - so the arguement for 6+ is still good, just for different reasons. |

I actually do use the LFG queue when I am not in the mood to either form a group myself or hang around waiting for one. I go off and run the low level arcs or do paper missions in KR and sometimes I get a ding from the Queue and sometimes I don't.

That hasn't been my impression. The two Hydra Heads have always been a pushover. The underlings are easy enough to take out and the bulk of the heads' offence is avoidable "patch" attacks. I've never had trouble with them.

I think they're talking about the 2 AV's at the end of DIB. I've been on teams that broke against the two shivan(?) AV's.

I don't think I'd ever want to run a DFB with 4 or less people again. My first time running it, we had most of the team leave and we ended up with 3 people (well 4 actually,but one went AFK in the middle of fighting the lost and never came back). The Hydra fight was fun XD two blasters and my newbish DB scrapper 
DIB is.....ok. I would run it at least once on a character, although that AV duo was a PITA....ok maybe I would skip it. I'd rather run Synapses TF. Multiple times.
I mean in an ideal world, sure.
But in this world, it's much easier, faster and more reliable to pre-form your squad then join the queue.
If you want that to change, you'll need to talk the devs into makeing some fundamental improvements to the queue system.
