Why people using 2 party of 4man instead of 1 group of 5?

[Agent 0013]

Mobs can be tagged by five people and looted. As well as those five people, everyone in their parties gets to loot as well. Assuming another player doesn't get a tag in, two teams of 4 guarantee that all 8 characters can loot every mob tagged by both teams. 8 is also the max number of WoW licenses you can have on a single bnet account, meaning all 8 toons can share in account-wide things like mounts, pets, and tmog.

I run 8 toons, and the main reason that I made the jump from 5 to 8 was for more chances at rare loot, like mounts. There are pros and cons to running 8.

What do you mean 8 licenses on a single bnet acc? you can play on 8 chars from 1 account? or bnet friends can share mounts or something else? i'm stupid sry :d i mean how did you share mounts, pets?

1 BNET account can activate a maximum of 8 WoW accounts. Every WOW account on the same BNET account share all achievement rewards mounts, toys, heirlooms. You can send bind of bnet account items to any character on any of those wow accounts as well.
