My Fellow Thelanians(?)

I wanted to get a discussion going about the state of PUG's on Thelanis. I think we can all enter this conversation by saying the quality of the PUG is at an all time low on the server. Perhaps this is game wide, perhaps it's not.

There was a time, not too long ago, that TR pugs were wide and varied. I could log on and find a group for just about any level of quest farming. Not only would the groups farm effectively, but players were competent, skilled, and didn't require baby sitting.

Now, however, forming a group for a farm usually results in a hot mess. Players join BYOH and run around like chickens with their heads cut off because of lack of preparation. Traps are being blown left and right. People are joining Farms, dying and then peacing out after they've been carried to completion. The LFM's that are up are for level ranges way outside of BB and Streaking.

What's going on? Is there a way to fix this? Are people for the most part isolating themselves to guild runs?

What can we do?


Just to highlight my point, I took a screen shot of LFM's that were up when I posted this:
