About using "Genkai" terminology

Honestly, other than importers and people who've leveled extremely fast and played mostly with japanese parties, the word "Genkai" does not mean anything. Most people reading the front page who look at the quest title will have no clue.

Why not call it : Challenge the limit (Level Cap 1)
or : Challenge the limit (Cap Quest 1).

The people that rose quickly through the level were quick to idolize the terminology of the people they played with and the super high lvls they saw at the beginning, but at this point the english-speaking players have their own terminology that can actually be used to communicate with players who haven't read up on all the "hip" terms.

A good example is "fuidama". In LS channels, party chat and in regular conversations, everyone refers to the combo as Sa/Ta, sata, or Sa+Ta. Or they write it out long, sneak+trick. But I haven't seen anyone say fuidama in parties since december. However four months ago importers were adamant that we'd be using the old terminology, and that Sa+Ta didn't make sense because nobody knew what that meant.

It's not that I want to put down Romanji, I'm a big fan of the japanese language. But let's communicate between all of us in a way that doesn't lock out people that don't know the "hip" terms.
