And modern MMOs tend to cut down on the size of parties in order to focus more attention on the boss mechanics. SAO in particular is about "swordfighting". They don't have ranged weapons for a reason, and the reason is that they want to emphasize the feeling of moving your body around in VR (since that's obviously the selling point compared to other games). Gameplay is mostly dodging and parrying and looking for a good moment to counter. Zerging doesn't work too well because in the worst case you might even accidentally hit your allies.

Regarding the boss fights, this is perfectly correct. Remember in Ep 2, they were cycling groups in and out to rest and heal, instead of trying to simply "Tank and Spank" and DPS the boss down with the whole raid
