PuG Fails

If you can please try and avoid ICC PuG groups, because they are just a huge waste of time unless you are willing to spend a little bit of time getting rep before Lord Marrowgar. I have probably joined about 10 PuGs for ICC 10 and I have only had success in 1 group. That a 90% fail rate!!

People who organize PuGs often look at gear score a determining how good a player is. Yes this can help but more than anything, you have to be a team player and know what you are doing. The PUG that I had a successful run with had an average gear score of only 4800, which most players would think is a bit low, but we had no problems killing the first four bosses and then we decided to quit after that. Most of the other PuGs I have been in have average gear scores between 5000 - 5200 and we have major fails.

So what is the reason for this? I am not quite sure but of what I have observed is that a lot of player in PuGs tend to not listen and not do what they are supposed to and it messes it up for the whole group. Also its better to plan the group with what classes you need instead of getting whoever wants to go. In my success group, we had one of every class and of course no problems but other PuGs will have like 3 paladins or something ridiculous like that. PLAN!!

Yes it may take longer to get a group together when searching for only 1 of each class (if you are doing 10-man raids) but it will increase your success rate by a lot. So think about this next time you make a PUG or join a PUG especially for ICC 10.
