'Raids', really?

[Reika]

Reika, the fact that the word did not come from Wow has been made clear already, we are simply pointing out the sour taste it puts in some peoples mouths. I agree with Bled.. its not goign to make me quit the game, however I suggest that another name be used as it may bring more negative feeling to the game, especially for people who are new to the game or maybe are looking into the game. Raid is bland anyways... SE could most certainly think of a better word... Like Plunderage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I don't think some other people got that message either heh.

List of names that would work go!

Riot
Rampage
Plunder
Assault
Siege
Invasion
Hostile Takeover
Blitzkrieg
.....
.....
.....
(Full Attack!)

And all that is just from looking at a thesaurus, and most of those words would work.

As i see it we have two groups:

1. group one thinks the term raid is bland, generic, boring, bad stigma, and over used.
2. Its just a word i could care less.

If there is a third group please point it out are there people out there that truly think that Final Fantasy XIV needs to refer to these instances as raids?

Because as far as i see it if you only have those two groups then by basic logic it makes more sense to just call it something else.

We could just call it an Adventure...
