Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake
I completely and utterly disagree with you in all your points.
The highest end raiding should require 20 people, and should have no adjustable scaling to fit you / anyone else. They have already stated all the reasons they made the highest end raiding a solid 20 and nothing else. They have outlined the benefits and they completely outweigh the cons.
Forcing one raid size for endgame was one of the best things the ever went back to.
It shows in the good tuning of highmaul. Most mythic guilds (100-1000 in the world) are killing bosses betweeen 50-100 pulls which is roughly the sweet spot. Something like Koragh or tectus mythic would have been really quite difficult to tune properly for 10 and 20 man.
20 players is perfect. Either recruit more, or leave your guild for one doing Mythic. 10 players doesn't provide challenging content for the exact reason you said. It's easier to get 10 idiots to work together than 25. Plenty of previous world first kills were done with 10 people because it's simply easier. a static raid environment helps provide a more comparative raid experience all across the world.

No. It's nice to see more than 10 players in a RAID setting.
The whole point of Mythic is to have that one size so that Blizzard can tune it perfectly to that size. Having a 10 man option would go against the whole point of having Mythic as a difficulty.
10 man raiding being "normalised" to resemble the difficulty of 25 man (and I say resemble lightly) in Cataclysm was a travesty as evidenced by the damage done to multiple raiding guilds that ended up either choosing or having to drop to 10 man in order to get equal gear and progression, never mind those that stopped playing altogether.
No, when a body has cancer, you cut it out or blast it with radiation until it dies. This is what Mythic has done, it's perfect besides not being 25 man.
20 for the super high end is acceptable. You can go heroic 10 if you want, more people in this case helps with more complex encounters.
no
We just got to the point where the raid content can be balanced perfectly.
If we go back to two different raid sizes it'll suck again.
Your guild just needs to recruit, get better management bruh
No, it is perfect just the way it is.
You're getting exactly what you deserve.
I think the whole point of how mythic is done now is to not have different raid sizes. I think that would ruin the whole point of having a fixed 20 man raid size.
This seriously sounds like "My brother got a toy and now i want one too..." You just have to wait and get more people before you will be able to play with big brothers toys its funny tho no matter how good or precise people explain it people still dont want to get why blizzard didnt make a 10man mythic raid... The game was the best when the most competitive raid had 1 size that blizzard could tune and they ruined that when they made 10man equal to 25man hence why they now made a 20man that they can tune to perfection without having to worry about a other raid size.
Now there is one competitive raid size and thats 20man mythic and for world first thats where the fight will be and not spread between 10man or 25man thats so unbalanced.

Their main reason opting for 20man was more flexibly on creating more interesting raid mechanics.
The set in stone 20 people for Mythic raiding is a little disappointing. It would have been nice if they would have at least gone with a 10 or 15 player Mythic mode as well.
