    I've been running them with my friends. You don't really need a healer or tank for 'normals' so we go with what we have.

    I've got a great group of guildies with a solid group of decent people on almost all day long

    (SHOUT OUT TO MY PEEPS IN THE GUILD MEDIEVAL!!)

    so yah, do almost all of my grouping, trials, even some overland content for fun and achievements, with guildies

    that being said, I have grouped with pugs from time to time - I almost always get a sense of good people, typical people, or total jackkittens within the first 5 mins, and I bail the moment someone becomes abusive - it's a game, I don't have to stand for that crap

    A mix of all 3. I won't pug on a level 50 unless I have a low level friend, and I won't pug DPS period. Mostly queuing premade with guildmates though and we usually have 1 low level character in the group so we don't end up queuing for DLC dungeons.

    Both. Really a mix of people and skills though.

    I have never done a dungeon via PUG before, it was enlightening in a good, positive way.

    Ever since I joined a good guild, it has only been guild mates and friends, all of a sudden dungeons seem so much fun, before that, it was a place where you got bashed or kicked even if you did your role properly.

    But there are also a couple that I did solo. And I mean completely solo, where I group up with my bank mule accounts.

    Mostly PUG but when guildies are in the mood. I bring them along instead. So I'll PUG it 75% and premade 25% of the time. I just take what I can get.

    Same here, no point in assemble an guild group for random normal.
    Veteran or at least the harder ones are guild only.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Both..Solo Pugs when no-one I usually run with are available...Grouped Pugs when less than 4 are available...or no Pugs when 3 other guildies/friends are available...so pretty situational...for me at least...

    I prefer PUGs. If you go with the guild and DDs are ridicolous, you end up wasting a hour to avoid disrespecting them.

    Protect the weak. Heal the sick.
    Treasure the gifts of friendship. Seek joy and inspiration in the mysteries of love.
    Honor the Earth, its creatures, and the spirits. Use Nature's gifts wisely. Respect her power. Fear her fury.

    Mostly PUG. Of the 4 guilds I'm in, 1 is a very small/mostly dead but friends group, one is a small but good group, sometimes I can get a dungeon from them, 3rd is a trade guild I've occasionally run a dungeon with, and 4th is larger, does have some who are pretty regular on dungeons but schedule isn't ideal for me and I'm not sure I want to run with some of the others. But since all 3 of my characters can fulfill a tank or heal role, queue length hasn't been an issue.

    Been doing most of my randoms with people from my guild trader, back alley trading. They might as well be pugs (good pugs tho) because I’ve never spoken to them before now.

    That's definitely unquie. How far have you leveled your Myles that way.

    I have one bank mule that reached around level 30. And then I found that it was so much fun playing a "new" account with no CP that I started actually playing the account instead of using it as a mule. 16 months later, it's my secondary account with 766 CP, BiS gear, all the works (the novelty of the "newness" had long since wore off, of course).

    Another bank mule account, I got a character to level 50 and then stopped (didn't want to earn any CP and thus avoid the temptation to play it like what happened to my previous bank mule) and used another character, which is now level 38.

    During one of the sales when the base game was $8, I picked up yet another bank mule that is now at level 40.

    I don't intend to level my mules. And I usually group with friends. But it's useful in certain situations like this to have bodies that I can use as filler.

    Bear in mind that while multiple accounts are supported, multi-boxing is not and ZOS have said that it is bannable, as I recall.

    Random groups are very stressful for me. When I played in WoW - such stupid players were much less. Get out of the boss's AoE, dodge his 'instant death' attacks - why? Let the healer cure all this damage. (there should be a sign of 'sarcasm'). Therefore, if I can not walk through the dungeon alone / with my brother, I do not go there at all. By the way, together we go through any dungeon, where it is possible in game mechanics.
    No more levels and skills, only degradation!
