    A raid is a type of mission in a video game in which a very large number of people (larger than the normal team size set by the game) attempt to defeat a boss monster. This type of objective is most common in MMORPGs, where the servers are designed to handle the number of users. In RTS games like StarCraft, the term is used differently; see Raid (military).
    I kinda want more RAID content buuuut... Labyrinth of the Ancients left me a bad taste in my mouth. It would be great to have the option to go with a 24-man pre-made.

    This shouldn't be the only MMO with NO top-end raid content! CT is designed to be a step below Binding Coil, meaning it is NOT top end!

    Binding Coil is just as much a raid as Castrum Meridanum and Praetorium; all three require a mere eight people, *one* full party.

    Raid content, by definition, is more than one group. Does not matter how hard the content is, either. A Full Party, by definition, is one group. As a caveat, Binding Coil should not be counted under the Raid category in the DF, either, since it is not a raid.

    100% agree. Before 2.0 release we were told CT would be a real raid. Then they decided it was "too hard" and gave us the /afk fest we see today.

    FOUR 10 minute 8 man events is not nearly enough raid content. Personally I'm hanging out until the expansion but if it isn't bumped up to 10+ I'm definitely done. If there aren't LARGER raids I may anyway. I'm tired of having to demand 100% raid attendance from a team to accomplish anything and an 8 man group can't realistically have a 3-4 man bench. That is half a group.

    I could be wrong but....I think he means 10+ 8 man events, not an event with 80 players. His following statements imply that he'd like 16 man content ideally, but knows that even wishing for it, it's most likely to remain a wish.
