Emalon is not the problem. PUGs are the problem. I won’t go on a raid with a PUG (I will sub in as DPS for friendly guilds, but that’s a huge difference). I see no reason to rack up repair bills for a bunch of whining pre-teen emo kids.

Our server is the total opposite. The horde dominate every aspect of our PvP to the point that I had to actually come and help lowbe’s getting ganked inside of IF…

Emalon and me have not had good experiences, our server does not pug well at all. I think our guild can do it, but we always have something else going on when our main group is online and well, we hardly ever get WG at the right times.

I give it 2 wipes then I’m gone. Its always the same they demand the achievement to get in along with 4k dps. No one ever is, granted the people that ask for the achievement are idiots, every time one of my alts hits 80 I join a voa pug and I link my achievement which is of course not completed but if you link the achievement even incomplete people never look twice. My dps usually sucks but the issue every time is people never dps the adds when its time. Even when I do complete the thing every time we all die at the end because an add explodes because no one ever switches dps.

@drew I’m sure you’re right about the practice bit. Your side totally dominates us in all things Wintergrasp. In fact, our entire Battlegroup is a terrible joke for all Horde players I think.

Yeah, it’s rare for me to get a fail PUG for VoA 10 or 25. The most I’ve had to deal with in about the last two months (maybe more) have been 1 or 2 wipes on Emalon before the kill.

Hey Nance, I’m also on Greymane, but Alliance-side. When Emalon first came out he was a wipe-fest for poorly done PUGs, especially 25man. 10man seems noticeably easier. Now even random Alliance PUGs can do 25man Emalon without much trouble. Perhaps we’ve had more practice than the horde side.

I’ve found that the only way to get a good VoA pug run on my server (Ghostlands – EU) is to do it at 2am….

infact, the only successful 3.1 pug raids i’ve been on have happened at 2am!

Oh, for sure, it is only when you get a group of people that you know are good, that you can generally go pretty smoothly with him.

Most of the time I find the problem is the dps (especially melee) decides not to down the add that is about to supernova and destroy us all!
