How did you guys handle small group dynamics? Typically when something came out that required a small group i would usually only get people I trust to do their jobs (people I know) and other minor roles I would see as just fodder. For some reason I loathed having to pug people I dont know or without anyone to vouch for them. anyway Id go in with a plan. So my next question is when it comes to new stuff do you guys and gals research it prior or just go in blind and see what happens?
are you talking about dungeons or raids? or something else?
Dungeons i usually make a grp with guildies (if any of them have beta) and try for fun. just run in and see what happens.
as for raidbosses we as a guild analyzes and discuss what little info blizz provides in their near useless dugneon journal be4 the 1hour30min window where you get to test the boss on beta/ptr.
hmm, as for anythign else i usually rush in to it blind as a bat... (are bats rly blind? they have eyes afterall), and i usually come out on top..
