'Raids', really?

[Bled]

And I'm here arguing, that the stigma is baseless and potentially harmful to the game's evolution, in hopes that people stop having knee-jerk reactions and take a step back and think critically and objectively for a moment.

what you call baseless closely relates to labeling theory in my eyes. Words have stigmas attached to them that cause them to develop preconceived notions. It is not difficult to come up with a easy creative and definitively correct term for these instances, if SE chooses to name it "raid" w/e i just want people to stop flaming with the statement "What you want it pointless and I think the game needs ______ because that's more important".

whats worse requesting a name change that is as you call it "pointless"
-or-
Flaming said topic that you think is "pointless"....
