March Dev Stream Feedback: Arcanist class passive - "Manifest Destiny"???

Guys, what are we doing here? I know these are works in progress and names are subject to change, but this is an incredibly poor choice and I'm shocked it even made it this far. "Manifest Destiny" is a very specific and violent 19th century American ideology which sought to justify the forced displacement and genocide of indigenous peoples across the US, as well as the expansion of slavery. It has NO other use and it should not be carelessly repurposed into the name of a passive buff in a fantasy video game. I get what you were going for but this isn't something that can simply be taken literally out of context- the phrase itself is its own context. This is wildly inappropriate and should be changed asap. Just call it like "Manifestation" or something.

    We appreciate your opinion and concern regarding this title. Hearing everyone's feedback is important - we will make sure this will reach the dev team for consideration. With that being said, to prevent any discussion not related to ESO and thread derailment we are going to go ahead and close this thread. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.
