I'm all for the idea, and it's not like it hasn't been done already by
another MMORPG. Anyone else play Dark Age of Camelot: Catacombs?
There are instanced dungeons there (sure, not your WoW-type Scholo or
Strat or any real large dungeon), that, IIRC (having been away playing
WoW for over a year) would scale to the group size.

I don't expect Blizzard to try to create massive dungeons for only 1
or 2 players, but why not have an instanced dungeon in this way? There
needn't even been huge bosses in there. Stock it with elites and let
the party have at it.

Drops could be done in a number of ways I suppose. Have the same drop
table as other elites, or as someone suggested earlier a new set lower
than those rewarded for the large group dungeons, or (the one I
personally like) have players get tokens as a reward for killing X
number of <fillinthemob> in the dungeon.

Players are already turning in tickets for Darkmoon Faire, and turning
in items for reputation in PvP, so why not have casual players be able
to collect these tokens from the instanced dungeons and turn them in
for the new set?

I'd expect the grinding to be at least as long as the grind for rep or
Darkmoon Faire trinkets, but at least those players who don't have a
lot of time, or who for reasons of their own don't want to join a
large guild could still see progress of sorts after hitting 60/70. (My
guild is 3 family members and a friend. I don't want to leave them for
a game item, or get swallowed by a larger guild.)

I'm not standing here demanding this, by any means. I'm just saying I
think this could be done, and with Blizzard refining it I think it'd
work just fine.
