    Alright, considering Wikipedia is a garbage source anyways, (Proven by somebody editing it today at will) let's look at some other sources.

    A more substantial engagement involving a large organized group of players typically set in a dungeon and involving difficult bosses.

    raid
    Often used with mmorpgs. It involves players banding together to succeed at a common goal- such as taking over territory, killing an opposing faction, or most commonly killing big scary internet monsters that drop coveted items.

    It can be used as a noun or verb, noun referring a specific event, and in verbage, the act of embarking on that event.
    A: We've scheduled a Black Temple raid tonight. You coming?
    B: I can't raid, I gotta get laid!
    A: No epix or dkp for you!

    - Raid .
    A raid is a large-scale attack on an area by a group of players.
    So I'm seeing group, not seeing groups. So how exactly does Raid get defined as multi-group content? Oh wait, it doesn't, because you're stating opinions as facts.

    A raid is a large-scale attack on an area by a group of players. Gee ... LARGE SCALE doesn't mean anything to you, does it?

    If it was small scale, it would be one group. Large scale, however, means several groups, possibly many groups. All lumped by that definition into one group.

    Apparently plurals mean nothing to you either, because it says group, not groups. Saying that 8-player raids are not LARGE SCALE is subjective, and again, your opinion.
