• I'm concerned by the lack of raids but hoping that there are "raids", they just aren't calling them that. Because everytime a dev responds to "what is the end game content, will there be raids?" they say...end game starts immediately...you fight epic bosses even at level 5 or whatever.
  
  So that could mean they still have raid like encounters, but that you don't have to wait for lvl 80 to do them. Who knows. Hope it works out :)

• Raids = keep raids = being the best = people watching our streams = ad revenue = guild shirts!
  
  Also there are "Elite" Dynamic events that require coordinated groups of 10+ people to complete. And in the WvWvW "Area" there are Elite events that will benefit your servers progression with the three servers fighting for supremecy. So WvWvW has PVE as well as PVP elements as far as I know.
  
  In terms of traditional instanced PVE Raiding, there isn't any.
  
  The only thing they have with the "instanced feel" is "Hardmode" Dungeons in the form of Explorable 5-man content, which is significantly harder than "Story mode" dungeons, which will have "Fork in the road decisions" adding replayability for PVE nerds.
  
  I just want you fuckers to be serious about best in the world PVP and WvWvW showcasing, GUILD SHIRTS BRO.

• Don't worry Lucretius we wont. It's stupid ez mode. As long as people log in, nightmare mode clear = done. PvP farm = done. Can't wait for GW2.
