Hey Miska, I think one of my characters was in the PUG with you and you were right, it was great fun and very successful! Because we treated each other like teammates.

In one sense, the fault is always mine: I know what PUGs are like, and yet I joined one anyway.

In another sense, the reason the PUG failed can always be traced back to one of the following:

1. The Unprepared:
The person missing the quest that causes a gate to be closed.
2. The Unequipped:
The person without max armor/infusion in an area where it's required.
3. The Liar:
The person who claims to be one thing, when in fact he is not. The crappy derv claiming to be an usran; the 55 monk claiming to be a heal monk; etc.
4. The Ignorant:
- 4a. The person who thinks they know what they're doing, but does not, and as a result does something dumb that pooches the mission/quest.
- 4b. The person who does not know what they're doing, but won't admit it so that I (and/or other knowledgeable party members) can help them, and as a result does something dumb that pooches the mission/quest.
- 4c. The person who does not know what they're doing, receives instructions from a knowledgeable party member, but refuses to listen, and as a result does something dumb that pooches the mission/quest.
5. The Aggro-Happy:
The person who cannot watch their aggro bubble/attacks and aggros extra mobs that the party can't handle, resulting in wipe.
6. The Incompetent:
The person who simply cannot perform their role adequately. Most noticeable with monks, whose incompetency can lead to immediate failure, but it can happen with any player.
