I think Bungie themselves confirmed they're still working on the balancing, but that it'll probably be around 7-9 max players.

EDIT: I see how it could ambiguous. I was saying Bungie confirmed they're thinking about 7-9 players.

I saw the 6 player raid thing pop up in a couple of places, here's one just for reference: "...there are many other multiplayer modes that have yet to be discussed, including a 6-player Raid mode." at http://www.cheats.co/blog/destiny-complicated-end-game-activities/.

I think it would be neat if they tweaked the player cap depending on the encounter, since I'm guessing they aren't going to have all night dungeon crawl instances like WoW had, where a fixed number of players across all encounters made more sense. In Destiny I imagine it will be a lot easier to just "pick up" a group to do a raid, rather than requiring large clans/guilds to do them.

Still, the idea of taking a Raid like encounter and applying it to a first person shooter, so much you could do with it and could really be a really important evolution to FPS PVE gameplay.
