Hidden and Laghodessa weren't that bad and finding a competent pug raid group was rather easy, but ever since we got Blood Lord, the rate of finding such a decent pug group flat out bombed and it's extremely hard now. I've never had problems in VindNA at all until we got Ep5. It's like it brought out the morons.
Yeah, though, I'd argue that hidden and Laghodessa were both terribly easy as far as raids go. The community's split into two right now, and neither is willing to accomodate eachother (usually). You have people who have no idea how to run a boss and usually don't care to learn and just zerg it. And then you have the more skilled community that don't care to explain it to newbies and kick them the second they get the chance to. I mean, the tactics for blood lord aren't even all that complicated. You just spam pala down the party line, and by the time the last person runs out, BL is already at least 2 bars away from death.
Boat 6 eases up a bit in terms of raid bosses, as they're slower again and more easy to deal with, but the game gets to be really tactics oriented as it goes on from there.
Anyways short answer is that if you have an active guild, and have members willing to learn how to boss properly, you should rarely have any problems.

Maybe anywhere from 5-15 minutes? What level are you? I can probably help you with anything lower than the last few battles of boat 4 by myself.
