Nope. Guildies > NPCs > PUG members. Join a good guild, get used to loneliness and schizoid idle quotes, or develop a taste for beating your head against brick walls.
I don't think theres anything wrong with PUGs, people can be in PUGS or do however they please. Dont bash the heroes / hench man system, im sure there would be alot less players without it
I still pug although like someone said it is a little harder than what it use to be.I can see why the game would turn someone off if they are looking for a more interactice game.The population in GW is on a slight decline in game for the most part and possibly on the boards as well.I think it would be a good idea to help those in the first mission of each chapter why not.It couldbe the reason players leave guilds or stay offfline for months.
I have a few WoW players in my guild when they run out of cash they come back to GW.They would rather have the interaction in a game and this doesn't do GW2 any help.Yes I still PuG.

Profession: R/
pugged a full clear of fow just last night , after a few slaver's pugs. Anytime a guildy doesn't want a hand with anything (or later when I tuck em all in... I go off in search of pugs.
Location: Sitting in the guildhall, watching the wallows frolic.
Guild: Trinity of the ascended [SMS]+[Koss]+[TAM]=[ToA]
Well, in a way I am uplifted to the fact as it stands, 1/2 of the responses here are in a positive towards PUG's.
