Comments on: FAILPUG! Should I Stay or Should I Go Now? http://emeralddreamers.co.uk/2010/02/03/failpug-should-i-stay-or-should-i-go-now/ It may not be the truth, but we’re pretty sure it is.

However when you took charge before the second one nobody complained. They appreciated being told what to do. You did it in a good way, and I learned a lot from it. There were no ego's being bruised by the suggestion they may not know as much as they thought, quite the opposite in that they wanted to succeed so were willing to listen (rather than just saying "Retards!" after the first wipe and quitting the group) I realise now that was quite rare. If I remember right we kicked Onyxia ass after that. Plus I think I won the head and was the toast of Org :-) So yes, good pugs do exist I guess. They must really. If all pugs were awful then nobody would ever do them ^^ lol ^^

"What does we need?" "kick the new dk to..he have bader gear" Then he calls people "retards"? Can't believe the language, annoying text speak, and bad attitudes in that. You have more patience than me Shell :-) Gear, GS, your dps count, immature effwits, the "Bring the gear, not the player" philosophy. I'm trying to get myself back into WoW after a break. This did not help lol ^^ You should have kicked them all into line, like you did on that Onyxia pug back when I was newb :-) Hmm….

Tank jumps in water to go to final boss, so I thought, sod it, went with him, pally tank, 53k hp should be np... He and I start clearing trash while healer and him have an argument, eventually the 2 dps join us as does the healer but healer refuses to heal and /dance with the tank. We killed the last boss with no heals, and the fight descends into a slanging match of caps during the boss: Dragonblight tank: WHY YOU BEING A TWAT? Al'akir healer: because you decided to be one first perhaps? DB: PLUS I TOLD YOU I DNT NEED HEALS DB: FUCKIGN PALADIN MATE DB: PLUS MY GEAR RAPES YOURS AK: nice epeen rogue from Al'akir (lolrouge [sic]) yet your still a twat rogue: well done healer: ever heard of alts tank: :) tank: YEH healer: caps freak healer: see you tank: SUCK ME tank :) healer: no thanks >tank and healer leave party< win!

Fortunally my gear has got slightly better since those days! “Regarding the gear thing in VOA I remember when ages and ages ago when a guildy rogue in Spice just dinged and was in shoddyish gear.
