Who says they were meant to be resisted? VP was the pinnacle of raiding in Kunark, and most servers never even had a guild clear it until after Velious. That's the whole point of the Lure/Resist Adjust mod, to increase difficulty - With 255 cap it was easy enough with a bard to reach that with even token resist gear. The biggest determiner of resist is level difference - even with 255 resist and no resist mod you wouldn't resist every AE from a 66 (in case of VP dragons) or level 70 mob.
The fights in VP wouldn't be difficult at all if you could resist Hoshkar's AE even 50% of the time.
