I don't know if it's a joke but the saturday morning crew is more than capable of doing it.

I don't think he's really saying that. I think he's saying if you want to join in on their raids, you need to be at their level and many of them go to that level by joining PUGS and learning there.
EDIT: Whoops, didn't see another page started!~

I ran into trouble early on becase I was sick or out of town for much of the first few raid weeks (I'm STILL coughing) and missed out on most of the early wipe-a-thon trial by fire raids. I didn't even transfer right away because I didn't know what the raid schedule would look like. (what raid schedule? hah) So I had that same catch-22 issue right off the bat. But it gets exponentially worse the older content gets. This is why you have to hit the ground running at the start of any exp/tier. You wind up with competent raids only taking people with achievements and an ilevel higher than the fucking loot that drops, and everything else available is a sea of failure. Pugs only get worse over time, not better, which seems to defy logic. LFR hits and suddenly everyone thinks they are raid pros. Good players gravitate to the more experienced/geared groups and the latecomers are left with dogshit, no matter how good of a player they might think they are.
Sorrows, AOTC cheev may be gold but it won't get you past the ilvl filter unless you are making your own raids (and willing to herd the sheep.. ugh) And let me tell you, those sub 640 normal raids are fucking worthless, holy goddamn. First tectus mist? RAID EXPLOSION. I almost pooped myself laughing. 70% wipe for fuck's sake. I can't get my 636 rogue farther than 2/7. The raids are just that bad. I use 0 ilvl mod to check progress, and it's nothing but raid finder and 1/7 norms being led by some screaming try hard.
So yeah, the situation he describes - it only gets worse every week. And I knew this from experience, so that's why I hammered my balls to get those imp kills done. (and bitched about being left out because I knew it would only get harder every week)
tl;dr: If you think the Catch-22 is bad now, DON'T WAIT. Bust your balls now to save a lot of pain later.

If you just taunt and don't do anything to generate threat then the mob would go back to whoever had the highest threat. I believe the way it works though is that whoever has aggro generates more threat with that target. So it's sort of like two considerations - aggro true/false and then actual threat numbers.
^ All that, +200%.
Early raids are cake because the people actually interested in gearing up got to 100 quickly and started pounding on the raids while the paste eaters were still lvl97. I was on LFR a week ago on an alt, and more than half the raid died to twirly fire bits on Twins. It wasn't hard when it came out, why now? Because the paste eaters are always going to be paste eaters, and now those paste eaters are "raiding".

This xpac has unfortunately amplified this effect and kind of killed guild raiding for every tier except mythic. Fortunately for me, my guild has ramped back up with some dedicated xrealmers, and in the last two weeks we've gone from shit to 6/7n 1/7h with our two night 12 hour raid schedule. Not saying it's impressive progression wise, but the fact that everyone is sticking it out even though they could be 7/7N+H through YOLO raiding by now is. Problem being, I'm stuck with the nagging worry of how long it will last because it almost takes more discipline to not just pug and get so far ahead that you are either left with making the leap to a mythic guild or just running for lols. And we know how long running for the lols tends to last.

JT I know you are guilded but we are actively looking for people with that kind of schedule for Mythic. Sunday 8-12 EST, Tuesday 10-12 EST so a grand total of 6 hours. Really all anyone needs to do to be included is to talk to Hist who is leading the raids to see if you're DPS is up to par and from there we include people on Tuesdays.
We have 2-5 people depending on who doesn't show up from our normal crew trying out tonight, it would be much more awesome if it was rerolled people.

Echo what others are saying... I did my imp kill in a pug.. And it took quite a few painful ones before getting it. But I was late to the party and needed to catch up. Now again I'm going to get screwed cause of work.... But it just means when I get back I'll have to feel some pain again before becoming useful. Its just the nature of MMOs.

Thanks man, I'm definitely too far behind in gear right now to even think about mythic - 647 with a 640 weapon. I'd probably even be a liability on heroic Butcher at this point. After I do some catch up though, I will definitely keep it in mind.

Lfr basically nothing matters at all. Normal you have four full phases plus two different dad phases where you need perfect execution. I suggest watching a video for a good idea because it would take multiple paragraphs to explain i think.
