Being an anti-social bastard, I'm certainly biased against PUGs. Avoided them like the plague, in fact. But, I've gotta tell you, as I've gotten more comfortable with DDO I'm finding most PUG groups to be fairly decent. Overall, people are respectful and helpful. You still run into foul-mouthed punks with toons not nearly as elite as the endless bragging might indicate, but overall the folks playing are pretty decent. Now, perhaps that's not a true sample since the majority of my PUGs have been raid groups of "serious" players farming raids that require a level of dedication and intent that's probably beyond your average 15-year-old sugar freak, but I'd like to think it's not.
