Stands for Random Ass Public Event. This is a feature that plagues next-gen MMOs - such as Wildstar, Destiny, Need for
Speed Rivals, Final Fantasy XIV, ect. - that developers incorporate in their games in an attempt to 'revolutionize' the industry, when in reality, it was a feature that was mastered by Guild Wars
2 before other developers really started to catch on to it. This will quickly become the pathetic
joke that is the 'standard' for MMOs, just
like DPS.
