Even Diablo Immortal devs can fix mistakes? 
Maybe there is some hope for humanity yet. Maybe even for Diablo 4.

Raids already have have existed in Diablo for as long as I can remember. What do you think the tiny dungeon into the boss fight format is?
It’s a freaking raid. lol.
People are so silly.
This would be the only realistic option unless they add a a whole bunch of social features and a group finder. However, even then if you get geared enough players should be able to solo the content at some point.

Not entirely sure what the tiny dungeons with a boss are, since they feel so empty and meaningless in D4.
But they aren’t raids. Never have been.
Nor should the be, of course.
They should be dungeon crawling.
Lost Ark does just fine with group content.
Not asking your opinion whether you like Lost Ark or not, but… you’re just wrong.
Whether D4 brings in group content or not, who knows. If you like it, play it. If not, then don’t.
I don’t think anyone will lose any sleep over your decision.
I think D4 could have some 8 player content but that is the limit. Perhaps a couple 8 player raid bosses once a week would be fine but none of this 16 or 24 player garbage.
Everything in the game should be solo friendly, and doable as such. I have zero problem with scaling, so everyone can get the same gear with roughly the same difficulty, but to me it would be unacceptable is as a solo I received 900 gear, but groups received 925 gear, for doing the same content.
I don’t like the idea of raiding in D4. It is absolutely toxic in WoW, and I avoid it at all costs. In an aRPG I should be able to get the highest tier of equipment solo. I should also not be locked out of content I have purchased due to some “lets make the game more social” bologna.

You’re locked out of content how?
Your unwillingness to do it?
In the make belief world of content that doesn’t exist yet, or may never exist, your unwillingness to do content you know nothing about because of a childlike mentality is incredibly convincing.
But that’s what a raid is, dump all the superficial stuff and a raid is a small dungeon followed up by a boss with multiple people in your party. The last part is kind of optional.
Sooo this is a silly argument made by people who don’t really understand what they’re asking for. They’re just spewing out word salad when what they don’t want is something much more specific than “plz no raids”.
Raids generally have multiple boss rooms and you generally go from one to the other. A raid in Diablo would be like fighting Duriel, Andariel and Lilith as part of the same event. raids also need a story attached to them, even if its a loose one, not just more demons in a cave with a few bosses.
There is definitely more than one person who shares OP’s opinion. So ‘we’ is accurate.

Nice personal attack, how mature of you.
My point is this. If the next expansion costs 99 dollars, and I pay that 99 dollars, I should be able to play everything, in the manner I prefer, without any issues or gate keeping. I have zero issues with group content being available, as long as a solo option is also available. Many people would prefer not to have to deal with other players and their expectations/demands, nor deal with the kind of attitude you displayed in your response…

That’s just your interpretation of a raid though which is the problem here. People are not articulating properly and it comes across as baseless whining.
If you want something, you have to ask for it properly. That’s the 1st step. People need to articulate well so devs know what they actually want. Using some semi-subjective term doesn’t cut it.
Many players WOULD like to see larger-scale group content.
So, feel free to ignore it and go do your helltides or NMDs or whatever.
Also, technically speaking, World Bosses ARE Raids. So they’re already in the game. As are the Legion Events.
I’d like a speedboat with my Happy Meal purchase as well. Do you think anyone cares?
Clearly you do, would you like a signed 8 x 10 glossy of me so you can obsess a little more? 
Maybe when you explain how you’re locked out of content simply due to your unwillingness to do it in a manner that makes sense to anyone who isn’t a child, maybe then you’ll garner some respect.
Until then, I hope you cry yourself to sleep worrying about content you know nothing about and an expansion pricepoint you know nothing about. It’s all very very scary…
Luckily (or probably unluckily) Blizzard do know what a raid is. We already speak their language in this regard.
Eh, the last part is pretty much the only part that is not optional.
In which sense, no, Blizzard should not add raids to Diablo.
If they want to add larger dungeons, with multiple bosses and more engaging mechanics, and name them “Raids”, then sure, go ahead.
Just no group requirements. That would be crazy. But it sounds like they might have learned the lesson with Diablo Immortal.
