Im sorry if thats a noob question, but i just dont know. I might know what it means, but i might have never heard that phrase, and its used a lot in these forums. So if anyone could plz just tell me what they are.
(And plz dont call me noob, im lvl 20 and i have plenty of experience with that game, i just dont know what it means, i think it means Pick Up Group, meaning Random Party, but could u plz just clarify it)

PUG = Pick Up Group. A pug is basically a group of random people you've picked up from an outpost to do a mission/quest/farm.

belongs in newcomer section but PUG=Pick UP Group
grouping with strangers that more times than not will be
- bossy
- draw genitalia on the compass map
- quit on you
- AFK on you
I enjoy PUGs but have had more bad experiences than good experiences

A PUG is what I've stayed away from since I got Nightfall...

PUG's are an unnessary evil in Guild Wars that no one should have to deal with.

They're groups made by the devil. Avoid them at all costs. Got a group of friends? By all means, join them. Friends not far enough/not interested in the game? Hench/heroes if possible.

Something you will learn to avoid like the plague.
There's rarely a time when Pick Up Groups (pug) can do something better than me with hench/hero.
OT: Arkantos, you're avvy made my lol

PUGs may or may not contain people who will cause aggravation. In my experiece, it happens less than the above posters would like to believe. But then again, I play a PvE Mesmer, and PUGs that accept them are generally much better than ones that don't.

PUGs really are horrible. If you're in a good guild...you should first call upon them, then move onto a hench/hero team, if that fails...you be the leader of a PUG and create a well balanced group. Good Luck.
