Are static groups simply the now accepted reality for endgame progression?

Coil is impossible with pug. The level of coordination makes it not possible.

The content is beyond Duty Finder where it's luck of a draw if you get competent teammates.

First off, the op never said anything about PUGS. The point was being stuck with the same 8 forever, and thus destroying the larger community.

Second, people say coordination isn't possible with PUGS all the time.. But I have been with perfectly organized PUGS, where nobody knew each other, but they all knew what they were doing and took the time to make sure everybody was on the same page. In fact, I find this to be true at least half of the time. So.. As I have found I enjoy the randomness of it all, I disagree.

In fact, I think it is perfectly possible to get thrown together with a good group, run with them for a week, then disband. And isn't this where the new party finder feature is supposed to come in? To allow this very thing? Ultimately it will still be a random pickup group, just a self-formed one from the same world. I love the idea. And hey, maybe if you really liked them you can join up with the same group again later, maybe you never do. That is the point here. If you get stuck with the same group forever, you get locked out of meeting new people, and the overall community of the game. And if you don't care about community, why bother with a social game at all? Anyway just my opinion. Take it as you will.

Coil 1 and coil 2 are definately puggable, but they do require bards who(for silence) They are honestly more forgiving then titan hm in non af gear. As long as you have silencers, decent gear and possibly voice chat for ADS.
