Pugs are damn harsh on hard content, and the focus on statics is just a scapegoat that helps people ignore that there might be other reasons why people don't want to raid with them.
The alternate to statics are NOT pugs! You could very well have 12 very good people all in your FC that you would like to play with regularly. If lockouts were removed, people are going to field players from their FC well before they even consider a pug. That is the exact goal of the proposed changes! To allow more people to play with the people they want to, not screw 4 of your FC mates every week and make them go find a PUG themselves to finish the content for that week.
