The term "raid" merely means "PvE-based content for groups larger than the standard party size". It's not limited to the WoW-style of raiding. It's just like the word "tank" references a character that can hold the attention of the enemy while taking less total damage than other party members. It does not just mean a Paladin with a shield, it can be many other kinds of characters with different playstyles.

They can call it Fluffy Bunny Adventures and it will still be the same thing it is: a "raid". Shall we start referring to "tanks" as "guardians" because you find the word "tank" to be too related to WoW, even though it is used in a multitude of other games? Take out "Hit Points" and start calling it "Life Force"? Is "Experience Points" too offensive?

What it *sounds* like is your point was just an awkward way of saying "Please don't make this content identical to World of Warcraft content." Now *that* is a perfectly viable sentiment, and one I can even agree with. But that has nothing to do with the name. If you're so bothered by the term "raid", call them "Toto-Rak" and "Darkhold".

I'm not sure what's worse: Those who are blindly devoted to WoW seeing no flaw in it, or those who blindly hate WoW seeing anything that may be perceived as a relation to it as immediately flawed. Hating something just because it is popular is just as bad as loving something just because it is popular.
