I spell fail P-U-G  

Last night's issues with logging into Dalaran were in fact a bug with Questhelper, as soon as I uninstalled it, I logged right in.

Now first, let it be known that as a rule, I do not do Pick Up Groups. Not even 5 mans. I'd usually just rather wait for a guild run. So when one of our guild's tanks whispered me about a quick Culling of Stratholme run, I assumed he meant a guild run and said "Sure". Enter the PUG.

The warrior tank of our guild really wanted to beat the timer and get his Bronze Drake, and since he seemed to know the other three pretty well, so I gave it the benefit of the doubt. Things went suprisingly well. I wasn't topping DPS because I kept stopping to drop explosive traps next to the healer, but the tank never stopped running, and we were blowing through the pulls.

When we hit the town hall with 11 minutes left I thought "We might actually do this". 8 minutes later, after doing the gauntlet in one long chain pull, I saw it. 2 minutes on the timer. Elation! I popped on Aspect of the Pack as the tank, the boomkin, and I turned left to take on the optional boss.

Then it happened.The Ret Pally, and the Healer, turned right. To Mal'Ganis.

/WIPE

Wait for the rez. Swear alot over Ventrillo, summon my Sinister Squashling just so I can kick it, then take the bulk of my frustration out on Mal'Ganis.

Just say no to PUGs.
