Issue type to align with end-user perspective

[Andrew Q.]

We are aligning our epic issues with our end-users' perspective. This is to get in touch or to feel their needs and when we communicate with them, we are sure that we are on the same page.

However, upon further reading, I can see that stories are the appropriate issue type for these concerns, because we are considering issues with our end-users as epics because we get an epic feeling of success and completion if we align them to our end-users :-D

Now, if we consider user stories to align with our users, we rarely need to put then into a mother issue because our end-users do not recognize that mother issue anyway. 

I would like to ask if this is ok/normal to use epics as almost user stories types since that's what our end-users consider anyway.
