This is clearly because the game is dying and therefor no one was really there for the ship raid. You just imagined everyone.
In all seriousness, they just published a major issue, there's bound to be some server issues for a little while. Especially on raids with huge numbers of people all flinging around hot pink fire.
Where to now?

I was at that same raid and I could barely even move. I could only get off one power ever ten seconds if I was lucky. Looks like the days of mandatory hami-kinis are going to come back.
Ship raids have been like this for me (on virtue) for ages.
I've been to big raids that have resulted in multiple RWZ instances, and I've seen above average but still tolerable lag, 300-400 ping, on those occasions. Last night I saw around double that for the same size raid.
On pre-16 raids, even those that filled up the zone, you'd see occasional complaints of lag, but last night, once everyone got to the bowl and started mashing buttons the comment sentiment seemed to be that the lag was much worse than usual.

I lead a Rikti mothership raid last night on the Champion server, and the lag was ridiculous. There normally is lag at a raid, but last night's was over the top. It took me a full three minutes just to bubble my team. The only thing I can think of is that the game is choking on all the new perty colors. Any other server run a raid since Issue 16, and if so, what was your experience?
