We all have lives, thus it only makes sense to pick a time where we can all be readily available. So once again, stop telling actual raiders what raiding is to them.
Because there's the whole "we need to get this task done" element that shows up in raiding. it's not like you are playing 4-player Goldeneye or Halo over pizza. You're trying to solve or achieve something, and the person not showing up is hampering that shared goal. It's important they show up for reasons more important than them just being there.

I'm a pretty harsh critic of raid culture in MMOs in general I guess. I don't like how games are mirroring the real world in nasty ways.
