These kind of things tend to happen with random people.
- People who say they have 5k+ gear score, but when you inspect them at dungeon entrance > they have like 4.5 or lower.
- People will njina pull, troll or taunt the boss from tank on purpose > then blame how tank was bad.
- Master looter guy might loot all items for him , thus creating njina looting guy. He will in 90% get banned. So this is another reason why playing with random people is bad.
- Healers actually not healing at all, people not knowing the basic things what to do in each raid/dungeon really makes experience bad.
And don't forget that it may suddenly happen that you have like 10+ paladins in your raid and you have no idea how...

That's a very rare chance.
Most usual things are:
- lying about GS.
- GS whoring.
- posting fake achievements.
- AFK here and there.
- leavers when their loot didn't drop.
- class ignorance, claiming to know the class which they don't.
- slackers, doing their bare minimum.
- asking higher GS than the content could possible provide.
- people whining from every single little thing.
- anything that has value is reserved.
- "get in a guild"
Well, tbh I had the exact opposite yesterday. Usually my pugs are kinda like this, but I joined a random ICC 25 yesterday expecting not much more than getting maybe to PP, and we ended up on Sindy, with a nice group (not even talking about skill/gear, just nice people) and no whiners/leavers. Felt like it made all the bad pugs worth it for me :)
Anyway, for that kind of problems, for sure there's no "real" solution other than "join a guild".
But inspecting people already goes a long way to prevent the most common problems of GS (either straight up lying or just having BS gear to boost it).
I guess the other solution would be to add "good" pug members in your friend list and contact them when you're trying to make a pug to see if they're interested. But that's pretty much making a guild at this point.
I just read it and the answer is no. I don’t think I understood everything also. In general, it’s story about a guy who decided to waste his time creating a pug.
Conclusion: Poor guy probably won’t do it anymore.
Just do as they suggested, join a guild or make one of your own.
There are just so many issues assembling pugs that will make the experience painful rather than enjoyable; Language barrier, Ego and slacking are the most common.
This is the main reason why I never join 25 man pug raids. 10 mans are more or less controllable so I only pug those and keep my 25 man IDs for my guild.
