Default Pug's in UW SC Failure

Good afternoon. I dont if it's me but I come across a big failure problem recently about 3 week so far. Now the problems is that for every 10 UW SC runs my team is failing 8 of them. As you can see not a good number but this also goes with my guilde its about 5/10 runs are failed 1/2 ration not bad.

So I was wondering why is that? Could it be because the following reasons?
A) Server Lagging
B) Pugs leaving or don't know what to do in there area
C) Pugs with wrong builds or deaths
D) UW was updated and harder to do

So please fill me in and Im just wondering why?

Pugs leeching by dying as soon as they can so they can have teammates pick up their slack, auto-rez and still get the end chest while they're off taking a piss. Don't believe me? It's always the same people dying in the same places if you spend a lot of time in UW pugs, and half they time they either don't say anything, or all they say is OMG LAG.

I sadly have to agree with this since I have noticed this as well when I venture into the pub world. I can think of several names that consistently fail every run at their area and then sit back saying omg this lag. It really is just like doing droks runs back in the day you will get leechers.

Lol, i lived in ToA for two months to get my obi armor, But I would've been in there for 2 weeks if my teams didn't fail, You may know me, Ubber Man, it's mainly not lag, but mostly inexperience and not knowing builds/spawns, for instance, take a PuG Pits terra. They will most likely kill everything, when you need about 1/6th of the enemies in pits. Or a vale tank that doesn't know choke points, or terras that run ahead in mountain run and bodyblock teammates when Mt. Terra should hold everything, or your average farmer and doesn't do quest, it's just simply stupidity and ignorance.

If you want to do UW a lot, get a guild, I would have, but most UW clear guilds are asses and only take selectives. I only do UW if a friend invites me, because wasting 200k in cons in one day to get 2 clears isn't worth it for me anymore.

Get a group of friends for these clears.

Moral: If you join a team and someone says, "Who has conz?", Leave the team.

Problem: PUGs are bad at everything
Solution: Don't PUG

Easy enough?

all good players are bored of uw ( maybe gw / they are waiting for gw2 or searching for another chalange ) and the rest are too bad. Follow @romeus petrus`s point : D`ont pug.

I have to agree with this. People do it all the time, and it makes the people who actually do lag out, such as myself, look like total noobs. I just quit doing UW with Pugs. Not worth the time.
