Why not just post the SS of the 35+ people you say we had, I counted 21 for the first 30 minutes, then we had 2 more join, and at that point about 90 minutes in we split one clan player to form another raid which never had more than 3 people in it. 24+3=27 at most, I don't get where you add up to 35+, I'd like to see that SS.
Please produce this SS. Besides, the SS you posted:

has 19 players, which you say is 17. So already you can't seem to count your own SS correctly. We also had 1-2 people drop out because their FPS were less than 8...so they were not even a factor.
