'Raids', really?

[Morticous]

lets change the word RAID to Plunderage!

... The ignorance just blows me away in this thread. Do some of you even read? You can call these dungeons whatever you want. If you don't like the respective name that goes with it then use your own abbreviation. Whether it's a raid or not why are a lot of you getting butt-hurt over terminology. If you question if you're going to quit over this then good riddance. What you should be focusing your frustrations on is all the other important fUnctions in this game.

Personally I feel bad for the Comreps that have to read this garbage and quite frankly I doubt it will even get mentioned to the Dev Team.

Some of the posts made on this forum by the anti-WOW brigade are asinine to the extreme. This topic especially feels almost like it could give me a brain tumor.

Ignorance is a state of being uninformed, are you sure you chose the right word because i do not see how being miss informed applies to wanting a name changed...? We were informed of the name and now we are asking for it to be more closely tied to lore, sounds like a pretty informed request to me... and i do not understand your proclamation that we need to read, read what?

And there are a plethora of WoW brigade posts for you to whimsically post in, rather then flaming a topic that dose not interest you...

Yeah, actually, it does interest me because you guys are poopooing content and raising hell because the devs dared use a term associated with a particularly popular western MMO. I don't play WOW, I have no intention of playing WOW, and I don't even like WOW anymore; but I don't fly into a fit of rage when I hear a popular MMO term applied to this game, especially when its predecessor didn't even have a term to describe that kind of concept or activity.

The misinformation lies in the assertion that 'raid' is a WoW term. It's not. Claims to the contrary are claims made out of ignorance. Actually reading the large number of posts saying exactly this and then thinking about what you just read would probably help. . .

Some are upset more then others on the name change, but rather you choose to selectively choose the few people in this thread who raged and refer to the thread as a whole raging about the term "raid". I could truly care less what ultimately the name ends up being, however i would prefer a more lore filled term and definition for our instances. The term "raid" is not owned by WoW and if it is truly a raid then great call it that what ever, I'm just shocked at the people who play Final Fantasy's and do not care about the lore attached to the content.

Part of the WoW disease if you ask me ZERG content for LOOTS, and who gives a flying fu** about the immersion, plot, world and community.

But. . . calling it a raid doesn't in any way limit your choices as far as filling out the lore. You can have oodles and oodles of lore and still call it a raid. There's literally nothing saying that the two states are mutually exclusive.

well raid is a WoW term but is not synonyms to WoW alone... you need to think before you post i never claimed that WoW owned the word itself.
