You can still Pug previous tiers, Belle, so I fail to see how that even ties into the subject. Also, if your in a small guild, you can't simply replace people. If people can do raids just as easily with a guild or without, then what is the point of having a guild? Why not just stay by yourself and pug everything, and have the potential to be better geared then people in Guilds? The game is supposed to be about communities, like every mmo, and pugging encourages being a lone shark.

I was pointing out that pugging a previous tier shouldn't bloody matter to anyone. That was to create contrast for the fact that pugging CURRENT PROGRESSION CONTENT in your guild is a dumb thing to do.

And yes, if you're in a small guild, you can replace people. My guild regularly struggles to get our 10-man consistently filled (damn fickle healers), and we bring a new person in from one of our friend lists, or we - ta da! - advertise in trade for a competent pug member. If he's good and not happy with his guild, we offer him a permanent raid spot.

It's not hard at all if people in your guild show a little incentive and gumption.

And did you just imply that puggers can get items in progression faster than guilds?
