I'm to the point that if I'm not dropping with my team I'm simply going to refuse to play CW. Attacking with a random pug drop means that 60-70% of the time or better you lose. If the defending team has an 8 man or better on defense, you're going to lose. If you try joining on Defense, the probability is very high that you find yourself counter-attacking, not playing defense, and you lose.

This crap is getting old. I'm not good enough to really make a dent in carrying a team. I'm a pretty decent team member, I'll go with the called strat, I'm not an idiot on a zerg rush. I just find that either part of my pug team is clueless, or they refuse to take orders.

Most of the pugs I play with do just this. "**** you. I am here for my self."

And all I can really do is pug. 98% of my Unit is offline whenever I am on. The rest are doing solo drops.

This is what I get too. The "nut up and join a team" horsecrap. And usually in the most condescending manner possible.

I'm absolutely tired of it. I am unable to join a group. Period. I can follow orders when given them in the game ... but no one steps up to give them.

If you don't mind me asking, why are you unable to join a group?

One thing you can do if you don't want to join groups, is go to the faction's teamspeak server and try and get a drop going there. That way you are at least on comms with them.

I know in my unit (HHoD)and our house, we have no problems with getting the pugs to hop onto the Davion TS3 server, and coordinate the drop with them. If they can't and are okay with letting us lead, then we give orders quickly (I'm usually typing them to the Pugs as the drop commander issues them). So it can work.
