    He could've called it Operational Warfare, that'd be the same.
    And anyway, that's what he calls them, Raids. Military tactics missions.
    Purposes of Raids:
    • to demoralize, confuse, or exhaust an enemy
    • to ransack or pillage a location
    • to obtain property or capture people
    • to destroy goods or other things with an economic value
    • to free POWs
    • to kill or capture specific people
    • to gather intelligence.
    And thank Wikipedia for their informations.

    Except "raid" is being used as an idiom by everyone else and using a dictionary wikipedia term is irrelevant.

    Just shows how out of touch this company is in terms of its contemporary terminology.

    SE needs to stop being that weird loner kid and start fitting in with the rest of the class (ie. MMO scene).

    Ok the 'word' in question aside...

    So first you say that SE needs to stop being the loner kid and fit in with every else (I.E. be like all other MMOS)

    Then you say they are using something that is used by everyone else and that shows how much the company is out of touch?

    ...So you want them to be like everyone else but not use the same terminology to be like everyone else? Wha?!

    The above like, counteracts itself, so had me totally confused...

    Also...

    You do realize that ya'll are bickering back and forth with each other over a WORD right?

    Next thing you know someones gonna make a thread about "How Dare SE call this game a MMO, other games use the term MMO!! SE didn't use it first!"

    Ya'll don't think this is a little silly and counterproductive to fixing the game? Who CARES what he calls stuff, as long as the game gets FIXED! It's called examples people, using a well known term to explain something so people understand and get the point is not a crime, I promise.
