Hi, haven’t played in years, but I lurk in forums every now and then.

Listening to the matchmaking complaints, I was wondering, is it difficult to find a PUG these days?
Are there enough people in the PVP lobby map, or is it too split up between servers?
Does the LFG feature work for PvP, and do people use it?

Seems to me like one way out of ELO hell is to just grab random people in your division, spend a minute or so making sure they know what they’re doing & coordinating builds, and then enjoying your massive win streak?

Even if you have limited time to play, surely it’s more fun to spend 10 mins grabbing some pugs, and then winning 5 matches, compared to losing 8 matches in a night?

Or is it hard to find pugs?

It’s not easy to find pug that any better than the people you get solo.

Better make a PvP guild and get out of the division where the low skills pull you back from progressing. Im still doing 100% solo btw. but thinking on making PvP guild invite peoples then select skilled ones to progress with.

Surely just having the chance to talk to someone for 30s, (and having the option to kick them), means you can much more reliably get a decent teammate than solo randoms?

Hmm, no answer? Is pugging not common in GW2 at the moment?
I remember pugging being a very common thing in GW1.
