Failing at Hyjal still possible
Posted 11-05-2008 at 11:49 AM by Thist
I joined a Hyjal pug thinking that 25 people in mostly purples could not fail. I was so terribly wrong.
Imagine all the things you hate about bad puggers - the naked guy, the guy in greys with a Stoppable Force, the guy hiding behind buildings, healers who never heal, dps that isn't doing any dps, at least five people making genital jokes, a leader trying to explain some impossibly complex and odd loot laws, tons of afks, only about half the people on vent, etc. I'm surprised we had room for them all in a 25-man.
We got 3/5 down, wiping 5 times. It took 4 hours and a lot of my sanity.
I will stick to going to Hyjal, BT and Sunwell with guilds or make pugs with only people I know and their friends. Bad puggers remain bad, even if the content is totally nerfed.

I stepped into a MC raid - and I think most of your friends were there.Posted 11-05-2008 at 11:51 AM by loquatious 
- I personally made a rule for myself. Heroics, kara, Gruul, Mags...period for pugs. Even ZA I insist on knowing the tanks if I am going as dps, or knowing the healers if I am tanking. Repair bills jsut ain't worth it.

Be glad you didn't try archimonde. The amount of players that would do everything wrong will drive you insane. People always stand in the fire ><Posted 11-05-2008 at 01:30 PM by Bloodwraith - You forgot the one who keep pulling thrash when ppl aren't ready or all there then laught and call "nerd rage" because peopple have enough to waste time and repair.
