The news is just flooring our guild, but most people like the change. It'll be great to have encounters with more individual play in them, although I think Blizzard has done a great job with some of the boss encounters in Naxxramas and the end of AQ40 as far as 40-man raids goes. The big thing, though, is the change that this is going to bring to existing guilds. There will no longer be the need for very massive guilds to raid. 2/3rds of the players = 1/3rd the drama imho. At the same time, what do guilds who do have guilds sizes designed for 40-man content do? Run two 25-mans? Or downsize? Already, our guild is talking about letting the expected attrition at expansion take care of downsizing for us.
I think this'll be a positive change. I think there will be more guilds and more people will be able to find groups they want to be around. However, it's going to take some time for many guilds to adjust to it.
