You're not being an asshole, but the fact is that Fay was the only mob we could get at a reasonable time (before 1AM EST) and none of those targets except for maybe Trak/Gore would be impossible for Taken/Div/BDA to take out. The current "full repops" are staggered, so it doesn't help at all when most of the targets start spawning between 3-6 AM when no one but a hardcore guild will get any of them before they're all dead. And the bosses would never be staggered to that extent if full repops were happening during normal raid hours. But that's off-topic anyway.

This is all true. When the server finally repopped it was about a day after VP was released, and at some ridiculous time like 3 in the morning (EST). I was there and I remember being told we were going after Sev with Taken. We had a good attempt on him where we got him to 6% with 25 people, but given how early in the morning it was, and how awful the lag was (it was taking people 10 minutes just to loot their corpses), most people just said "fuck it" and went to bed. At that point the vast majority of raid mobs were still up, so it's not like we weren't quick enough, it's just that other factors like lag and sleep prevailed over our desire to get pixels. Senaiel, if you're trying to prove that casual guilds are actually unskilled and poorly coordinated, that's not a very good example to use, considering we've done very well on past server repops (not that this is a pissing contest, but on post-kunark repops we've gotten (separately) VS, naggy/vox, inny/fay/noble, naggy/inny/draco, just from what I remember).
edit: and I also agree that staggered repops are dumb, and completely defeat the purpose of server repops, in addition to not being classic.
