Which is...what exactly?

I legitimately was not aware of any negative connotations that were commonly attached to the word.

"tribe" is generally seen as a word that was chosen for them to make the nations they were organized into seem lesser than those founded by European colonizers. Calling the various nations that were here before colonialization "tribes" both minimizes that the nations were just that, nations, and in addition, leads to homogenization of disparate peoples, since it comes from the Latin tribus which was used to denote subsections of the population under the Roman Empire, rather than independent nations or peoples, similarly to how it was used for the 12 Tribes of Israel, which were smaller divisions under one or two nations.

Far more likely that they decided it doesn't sound right to use the term "tribe" for things like... well, prettymuch every daily-task-giving group of NPCs past Heavensward.

• The Term Filter looks cool but limiting it to a mere 10 words is seriously pathetic, especially given that the system is entirely client-side. If it were server-side, there might be an argument made for data usage (if it were 20 years ago), but with it being client-side, there is absolutely no excuse. The limit should be many times that, maybe even in the hundreds.
• I'm glad they aren't calling it "Duty Roulette: Level 50/60/70/80/90 Dungeons", as that was getting silly. I personally would have called it "Duty Roulette: Legacy Endgame Dungeons", but "Duty Roulette: High-level Dungeons" is fine.
• Other than those issues, looks good.

Im still calling them tribe quests. Boohoo to anyone that doesnt like it. Its a game.

I hope we get more filter space later on so we can make sure that all ads can be gone

Curious how the DT MSQ start point Is hard to find.

I know where I'm camping and waiting tho.
