Get what you're saying but I would see that email as confirming they planned to have a raid rather than confirming a raid. I know it probably sounds really pedantic but there is a difference. I also fully believe that had TDB not been so poorly received we would've had another raid by now. Personally I'd rather they pulled it and made it into something good than throw another crota at us. I guess time will tell whether that's actually what happened or not though
