You miss the riddle and a aoe went off wiping your raid or something like that i recall. People were scared to death to speak up when they got the riddle so you would sit and sit until someone got the balls to speak up.
You're talking about the gas chambers. I think there are three in the zone.

Basically everyone has to enter the room in your raid and the door closes, then every 10 seconds two people in your raid receive an emote. One person gets an emote that lists two keys, one person gets an emote that lists one key. The person with the one key emote has to speak up and have the raid leader use that key to open the door. If you have some derps in your guild who can't read and speak up when they got the fake emote you get chain PBAEd and most of your raid dies, losing the zonewide debuffs Cure banes they previously looted.

Too many wipes can make the final fight unwinnable when you don't have enough people cured of the zonewide AE.

Uqua + Demiplane zonewide AEs were incredible designs. Demiplane especially because it makes the zone hard as hell to do your first run through and allows you to farm enough blockers eventually to make farm mode while you wait for the next expansion, quite a bit easier.
