AoC Dungeons and Raids Questions

I know this is still very early on in development but I was wondering if AoC has answered any of these questions regarding dungeons and raids.
How many bosses will be in a raid? (Nothing drives me crazier than raids in FFXIV with 1 boss and no trash mobs or anything. 1 and done or will there be 8-12 bosses?)
What will be the group sizes for dungeons, raids and world bosses?
Will city sieges be an organized event or will it just be a free for all cluster f**k
Will dungeons and raids have different difficulty settings or just 1?
Will world bosses literally just be a zerg fest or will they have mechanics? (Every game I know of that has world bosses is just a zerg fest and would like to know how AoC is going to try to change this?)
If certain dungeons and raids will be dependent on the season/node development does this mean some raids and dungeons will only be available for a couple weeks every 2-3 months?
Since season/node development are not level dependent how will scaling work with the dungeons/raids and even activities out in the world. (Will a max level character be forced to run a low level dungeon if dungeon level is depending on node level? Will max level characters be scaled down to lower level party members or vice versa?)
Overall I like the concepts behind this game but alot of them leave me uncertain of how they plan to organize all of these moving pieces.

-I don't think we have any deep information on dungeon and raid content
-group size: 8
-raid size: 40
-There is no limitations on who can a join a siege(to my knowledge) but initiating a siege is a big task and requires a lot of time, effort, and resources.
-I don't think we have different difficulty settings for dungeons
-World bosses will have mechanics but they will be open to everyone to my knowledge.
-Each season only lasts a week but yes, we hear that some dungeons can be closed off for that time..
-Good question about scaling. We don't know much about scaling yet. It might be that dungeons are designed for more skilled adventurers(higher level) and/or we don't scale as much vertically as we level.
Raid of 40 had to be a mutiple of 8 simply is a force mutiplyer.
You may well need to work on 5 quest streams in parallel.
Depends how thta raid is composed.
40 of any class type or 5 groups
