Raiding is becoming less and less optional

[Lium]

So, just reading through this thread, there appears to be a LOT of semantics going on over what is and what is not a raid. Which...is super weird.

So, to remove all the mental gymnastics and keep things as parsimonious as possible, for the purposes of this discussion, we are using Square Enix’s official definition of raids as they exist in FFXIV. Which means, any content under the Raid section in the Duty Finder is a raid, regardless of its mode (I.e. normal, savage, etc.)

This is independent of whatever definition you personally might assign to this kind of content. It matters not.
