The inherent problem atleast in destro side isn't pugs at all. For the past two days pugs have been pushing zones alone, doing all the dirty job (carrying boxes) from 0 to 2-3 stars by themselves. Just so the self-procclaimed organized wb's come in, spawn a ram, fail the siege and leave.
Why do they fail so many sieges? Well if you have played destro for as long as I've played it, you'll quickly notice that most of those organized wb leaders are pathological egomaniacs that have no problem sabotaging the efforts of others unless they can claim all the credit for themselves. This little village closed mindset is what hurts destro the most, not pugs. I've seen it quite often that they refuse to tackle posterns or help the siege and instead they grief the entire faction on 1/ region, just because a warband of pugs has been raising the keep to 2 stars and spawned a ram without their "consent".
Not to mention that this mentality is really good if your interest is to lower the server population by discouraging any new comer to participate in the realm activities and openly call them trash, or that it would be much better if they weren't playing. Sometimes I wonder if you want the server to die out. I can give you a long list of private servers where these sort of attitudes ended up in decommissions.
PuG wins lead to friendship, friendship lead to true guilds where individuals share a common goal, not guilds with applications and taxes above 30%. Those are often the guilds of the little self-proclaimed overlords on both factions that their ego doesn't fit through the door; That shamelessly slander everyone else thinking they are the angular stone of their faction, but let's see how much fun will they have if the population lowers thanks to their rude, impertinent and arrogant attitude. It is much better to be nice to those around you, as far as I know it's in the rules, something that unfortunately most WB self proclaimed "legends" fail to do, quite often, to not say on a daily basis. It just takes one region chat to prove what I'm saying.
I would like anyone to tell me how does it benefit the community to shoo away new and casual players by calling them a problem, trash or any of the like.
