I prefer to solo that wave while constantly singing some song in Russian. Whenever someone starts raging about this, I say: "This is your punishment for failure".
EDIT: I really love singing, but my vocal skills suck.

This is about how I feel. Soloing just takes so much more time, plus -- I'm shy about people spectating me.b00g13man wrote... If I wanted to play solo, I'd be doing that already.

note to self: Learn enough Russian to sing to dead PUGs as I stomp on the clutch and drive the failure car all the way home. Till then, make sure to have a kazoo within reach for some EPIC Slayer or Iron Maiden riffs.

What GallowsPole and Cheylus are saying. Many times it only appears that a PuG isn't trying, or is unwilling to use medi gel or rockets. If you look at my manifest, I'm still constantly out of medi gel.
Honestly, I have always blamed unintentionally bad PUGs on the RNG store and rewards system. The store equips newer players with weapons they're not comfortable with. For example, in the first few weeks , all I got were snipers and sniper mods/consumables/gear, yet I'm the most comfortable with everything else, especially assault rifles and pistols. Many players want to contribute, but can't because they are equipped with things they don't use/can't use together.
Also, a big problem I see that only GallowsPole touched on is the bad reward system. Even playing at Silver, where newer players are supposed to be getting more credits to afford the necessary manifest to contribute in a Gold game, at the most you earn about 33000 credits. That's just enough to get a JEP. God forbid if your team ends up wiping or gets less than full extraction. For them, many times their Silver games don't go smoothly, so they end up using all of their medi gel by the time they reached the store. Then they have to choose between getting (gambling for) the right guns, or spending everything on a single JEP, the only pack guaranteed to give players medi gel. What happens is that those players are forced to spend all credits on medi gel, just so they can spend the next match's credits on medi gel. They simply cannot save without playing on Gold or hoarding/refusing to stock up on medi gel.
There's no profit below Gold, and I think that contributes to the PuG problems almost as much as the RnG store.

Elitist BSN is elitist.
Seriously though, I get the frustration with people in matches who just want to be carried. But, judging by the daily posts here, one would think this happens all the time, when that's just not true. I almost only ever play random matches, and the only match any time in recent memory that has failed was one that had another BSNer in it (not blaming them, I take all the responsibility, but--making a point). And, I rarely ever have to carry a wave, let alone a match.
So, you all are allowed your frustrations and rants, but this thread, along with 95% of the other "pugs are bad" threads just don't match with reality.
Carry on.

No one said every single pug is bad... that's simply not true. Typically you get 1-2 decent players. It's like a box of chocolates...

@viper_veteran Thing is, the metagame puts power users at a disadvantage. Between factions a e enemies that trivialize powers, high dodge rates, and a few under-powered abilities, there aren't many options.

When I played on my friends account (played until I maxed his rares) I typically had low gel/rockets/ops... but when I got low I always bought a jumbo. I taught him this policy as well. If you're on Silver... you can get by with nothing... but if you're on Gold+.... I personally feel you need to be prepared with the appropriate amount of medi-gel.
The whole "I only by PSPs" mentality is the problem. The desire for manifest progression should not IMO deter people from having 5-6 medi-gel available per Gold match. You're going to need that gel to get the Gold$$ to progress the manifest anyway.

No, they don't match with YOUR reality. But they match with many many others here. Including mine. Sometimes I don't mind clutching more than one wave, if I'm playing an optimal set-up. But if I'm not, then yeah, sometimes i won't, and that should be okay.
Like I said before, if it is ok for randoms to choose to play Gold without any gels/ops packs/thermal clips/cobra missiles in their inventory, than it should be okay for me to not give a damn if no one gels/rockets etc.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Then why PUG at all? We all know what to expect most of the time.
To find diamonds in the rough... they do exist. I met Darkseid in a PUG, for instance. They don't al suck... and I don't even mind them sucking... but I do mind them not trying.
Still have never been in a game with you myself. Would like to change that, send me an invite sometime.
I tried the other night. You ignored me.

The other thread directed at this one made me re-read Megabeast's original post, and I realized I don't have any problem with it. If you're not having fun, quit. Why waste your time with a game that's not fun?
But, as someone who is almost always a "pug," I get tired of the over-the-top pug hate. I remember plenty of occassions a year ago, lying dead on the ground watching someone better than me clutch a wave, and now I'm happy to (try to) return the favor. Can't we just get along?
