How many whine threads about losing are we going to see before we stop giving them any attention?
I'll probably continue replying to every "whine" thread at least once with what I feel is helpful advice.
Yeah, it probably won't be heeded, or even read since I tend to write a lot at once. But I'll still do it.

I'm forced to disagree with you now. PUG in CW can be just fine. Since I play at weird hours, its what I mostly do!
The only times that its been horrific PUG-stomp by organized units is when I'm dropping in defense of a Steiner/Kuritan world. In order to PUG CW effectively, you must learn how to. Part of this is learning how to determine the odds of any given planet including 12-mans or other large groups. It isn't so hard to tell!
If you drop in "common defense" of a world that isn't yours, things are very likely to go badly. 12 people, ALL soloing, from different houses. Not a good recipe for success. If you're doing this, you really do need a group, or amazing luck.
If you see the enemy's numbers on a planet jump by large increments, there is likely a large group there.
You just gotta put some thought into the thing so you end up with PUG v PUG matches.
