You pugged 40 mans in vanilla? I don't think so. Considering the instances to even get into raids back then (strat comes to mind), required a group that had a raid-like setting. Either that, or getting carried by a guild at the start.

Same goes with BC. One of the few realms that pugged was area 52, and they only pugged Kara. Pugging barely existed in the initial game, or it's first expansion. Wrath, however, is the expansion where Blizzard said it's not only okay to pug, it has just as many, if not more, benefits then guild raiding.

Yep. Forpolk on Ner Zhul was just a group of 10 leaders and we pugged the rest. Molten Core was the most common for us. So much fun. Siddhart was the guild leader. He actually still is, but he stopped playing a while ago.

Carried? Raid-Setting? You needed the right gear of course. To do anything in Molten Core you had to stack fire resist. I had an entire set of Dark Iron stuff on my Orc. We also pugged AQ 40 once or twice. It was rare. We were usually doing AQ 25 and Molten Core with Onyxia and ZG thrown in there. So many "Lawls" to be had when Hakkar controlled me. XD

e: I was Main Tank and Off Tank/ Main Healer and Off Healer. It depends on who was online and what they needed.

e2: Oh and to further my point. You're talking to a guy who poured his life into WoW during vanilla. I nearly flunked out of high school because of this game. 6+ hours a fucking day raiding and doing things with the guild. We'd usually raid Molten Core for 5 hours then call it quits and come back.
