Was doing the first part of the Crystal Tower on my Bard and it was just horrible. Firstly, I lagged getting out of the loading screen and some helpful person kindly marked me as target to ignore 1 because of that. Which you can't remove from yourself.
People did not wait at any of the bosses. I got locked out of about half of them, because I'm not the fastest mover. I ended up following the wrong group, because I didn't know who was who or what we were doing. I was just shooting whatever came near me. XD
Then people started bickering over alliance chat and complaining about other groups. I didn't really care anymore, because I had died and had to respawn at the beginning and was now lost. So I got locked out of the final boss and I finally managed to find the exit after everyone else had already gone.
Ugh, I'm being whiny tonight. My tank just got yelled at again and I'm feeling gloomy. I think I'm going to have to give up tanking.

The Crystal Tower raids are not very good examples for 24-person raids anymore. Few people remember/both with the mechanics now because they've been able to outgear them since late 2.0 series patches. On the the other hand, finding 23 other people and setting up a raid to do things the right way would be a pretty difficult task. Possibly harder than any of the raids.
Common things people derp on in Labyrinth of the Ancients (you'll probably see some of these in the first few pages of the thread).
But I also look back fondly on the Crystal Tower drinking game, circa January 2014 when the content was still relevant.
