What's sad is tht PUGs used to be normal (back in EQ, DAOC, and others days).  That's how people met and eventually formed friendships and guilds.  People PUG'd and actually tried to work together.
 
Too bad things have changed and gone downhill.

I've been working on my attunement by pugging through an attunement circle... One of the groups I pugged with got silver stl on our second run through (we were 4 mins off on the first run, so we went at it again). I guess it depends on your definition of pug. Because if you aren't using lfg, but connecting with people you don't know on your server, it is very possible to do.
 
I'm sure you could even go about it more slowly through lfg by starting to friend people that you had good runs with.

There is a real major qualitative difference between DAOC, EQ, and FFXI  parties / groups and what people consider PuGs today. In those games you invested a lot of time and energy putting a group together for EVERYTHING. From simple levelling to questing, to endgame content. Everything required a group comparable to the adventure / dungeon groups in W*. and they had to communicate. In XI you had to play your role well or the whole party would fail.. this went for just plain leveling your character let alone end game content.
 
Those groups were a far cry from the pugs of today. Click button, join auto group maker, end up in group, say maybe 5 words.. do stuff; either do well and succeed or start to fall apart and rage quit.... So different from the MMO's of yester year.

This guy's level of determination is admirable.
 
Best of luck to you sir.
