It's an interesting idea, though of course you'd need a ship capable of dimensional travel since the Rikti world is in another dimension (there's more to it than that, but that way lies Spoiler Country).
Given that "endgame content" raids currently consist of Hamidon and the Rikti Mothership raids (and STF/LRSF if you count those), we already have a Rikti-themed high level event and I personally would rather see them take a different tack, perhaps something related to Rularuu and the Shard.
It's an interesting notion, however, and as we continue to learn more about the Rikti as new story arcs reveal information about them, I'm sure some form of travel to the Rikti homeworld is in the game's future.

While I think that the general idea of having a huge multi-team doomsday scenario 'Raid' that is a bit more structured than the current Raid content, the Rikti don't work for this. At least not in the way you lay it out.
I'd go into this at greater detail, but there's a lot of spoiler stuff here. For one, the Rikti are not from another planet, but from another dimension. Secondly, they're not fully to blame for the war. Thirdly, there's a sizable faction of Rikti who are in diplomatic talks with the humans. Most of the details are revealed in the 40s Hero missions dealing with the Rikti and the RWZ arcs.
Essentially, given all the relevant information pertaining the Rikti, attacking their homeworld would not be an overly heroic thing to do. Villains might not care, of course. Just another world to plunder and pillage.

SPOILERS IN THIS POST, though not giving too much away.
It's also worth noting that by the end of the Rikti story currently ingame, Hro'Dtohz (the leader of the Rikti war movement) is actively trying to prevent people from getting back to the homeworld, and trying to handle damage control... since if the leaders on Rikti-Earth find out about the TRUTH behind the war, they'll be a lot more open to peace talks, and that will take away all of his power.
Given that it'd be endgame content, the game would assume that by that point your character knows the truth, too.
So any mission to the Rikti Homeworld (I know it's Rikti-Earth, but I like the sound of Homeworld more) would be more along the lines of a peace mission designed to out Hro'Dtohz as the war-mongering criminal he is, rather than an actual raid.
Of course, there are plenty of other dimensions/worlds we could raid... Praetoria comes to mind. (See: Going Rogue).

This.
(Plus what other people mentioned about the Rikti.)

My friends said I would only get insulted for posting my ideas, that aside
I have done some RWZ missions, I totally forgot that there are some diplomats on earth, this was an off the top of my head idea, maybe there could be some clues depicting why we would be planning an attack, and when I had the idea, the attack was supposed to stop one of their major attacks.

Anything deal with the Shadow Shard is an automatic -5 points interest for me.
I hate that zone with a passion. It would have to be an entirely non-Shard Rularuu TF for me to be interested.

Insulted?
Please quote the "insults" you are claiming Justaris, Eisregen, Xaphan, and Oathbound made.
I didn't mean that you guys were insulting me, I was just kinda of saying it to show that I wasn't insulted but I guess I could have stated it better.

Heh. Yeah, the wording you chose gave a different impression than you intended. No harm no foul tho.
The idea itself isn't bad. I just hope you can use the additional Rikti storyline the others provided that you may not have been aware of to flesh out your idea so it fits more smoothly into the game.
I have an idea for "End Game Content" I came up with the idea after hearing my friends complain that this game has no end game content. Well here it is
Rikti Planet
After reaching level 50, you can talk to a contact of some sort, and he goes on telling you that we could stop a Rikti attack by attacking the base on their home planet. The mission would require a team of eight and if decided there could be multiple teams of eight going into the same mission and they could be split up into squads, like Delta, Alpha, Omega, or it could have 1 team of eight heroes and one team of eight villains, the heroes/villains then board a space ship to reach their destination.
Each squad would start in a different part of the base or outside forcing them to infiltrate it
After reaching the main room of the base there will be a giant monster or AV fight then after successfully defeating the giant monster or AV you arm a bomb then run back to extraction (Space Ship)
