funny how this thread went from disorganized pug talk to 'tanking'.

C-Bill is all that matters in pugs.  I'd rather hang back and earn 80K C-Bills in a lost match than rush forward to die and earn 60K C-Bills in a match that is won.

I don't exist for pugs, the pugs exist for me.
If one cares that much about victory then he should just play in groups.

I'm assuming you mean private matches or 12v12 because the 4 man crews running in the overall PUG drops don't mean anything other than inflated sense of game play due to being on coms. Piffle.

Well essentially in a PUG setting, nobody wants to be doing the "tanking". Because people have learned to not rely on teammates to shoulder up with them and fire down the lane.

But tanking almost always has to happen, because it's rare for a team to catch another team completely unawares. With 12 eyes on the field, it's a good chance at least a couple sets of eyes will be looking at where-ever you and your buddies emerge from. Somebody's gotta go first and risk taking those hits.
