It's hard to get 40 people together at once and it's hard to design for 40 people. You can still get raids though in games like RIFT and WoW. Not quite as large but still gives you the same feeling and challenge.
I generally hate PvE but I found raiding in the badass 40-man dungeons to be somewhat fun. Doing 5 man dungeons on repeat is probably the most boring and dumbest progression of MMORPG's in recent times. For PvE fiends, they should be making the dungeons RIDICULOUS hard so they can shut up about finishing end game content in 2 weeks.
If they whine about difficulty? Ignore them, tell them to gear up, and keep trying. Anyone remember how ridiculous EQ raids were? Suck it up!

no +40 man raids = single player (small group player) online game.
too bad PVE MMOs have died out. I'm sure there is a niche maket for this
wtb eppic feel environment not hollow MMO.
