Funny how so many people are raging about this; all while my shaman, warrior, and paladin have not ran into really any bad LFD grps. Sure theres been only a few wipes but everyone I have joined with has generally been nice or just do not talk at all (which I dont mind). Could also be the times of day I queue (Mornings and late night, like after 11pm)
You are one of the lucky ones. I don't mind wiping, even in guild runs we wipe here and there, it's no big deal. What I do mind is people being trolls in there bad mouthing, only tanking/healing till they get to the boss that has the gear they want, kicking from group just so their buddy/guildie can come in, kicking the noob because it's his first run and he doesn't know what to do. I as well as my guildies on our server have seen a lot of this. It's to the point if we have to use lfd to finish out a group we make sure that we have the tank, healer, and one more so that we do control the group, nobody gets kicked, and if one of the pug dps quits, it's not a long wait to get a replacement.
I suppose we're being a bit elitist in a sense, but to be honest, anyone that pugs in our group has it made. Unless he's a griefer, he won't get kicked, and if he's new, he'll get step by step instructions on what to do.

Alright, look at it this way; in a year to a year and half, when everyone is running heroics in Raid level gear, they will get easier. Till then, suck it up.

If you could read some of my previous post relating to what was going to happen with dungeons run when Cata was initially released...you would pretty such see I hit the nail right on the head. I'd rather have been wrong...but seeing how bad the habits were of the last crop of WotLK players doing WotLK runs..it wasn't very hard to predict. Chaos was my prediction...chaos it has been.
Which is why I have pretty much forgone leveling my 80's and took up leveling new toons as Blizz had intended. Down in the lower levels, there is much more sanity. I am enjoying the game and finding new players who are learning,as I am, the in and out of CCing and how to play a particular class correctly. I can say for the most part, those I have run into so far will make for better pug group members when they finally Max out. Patients is all that is need.
In the mean time you can either run save heroic runs for guilds or continue to bang your heads against a wall doing pugs with the same numnuts that many of you(and I) complained about during the closing era of WotLK.

You know what? If you want to control the group's gear, completely pre-form your groups so I never have a chance at seeing you through the dungeon finder.
The only real guarantee of success in Heroics is to have a group who knows what the hell they're doing, not if they are over-geared. Plenty of mechanics will one-shot most anyone at the current gear level, and will probably continue to do so for a while.
Time at level is a worthless statistic because it also includes time idling in Trade, or just AFK from the game while they make dinner or something while still logged in.

That is not a bad idea. And I agree...working on alts seems a LOT more fun than then the race for tier 11 gear to take on the raid content.
Don't believe it. Just got done with Stockades on my lvl 24 Worgen Druid. Had a hunter in there ninja everything like it was worth something, then at the end he posts "Suck it hoes" and bails on group. Idiots play at every level LOL.

I like the dungeon finder quite a bit really speeds up the process the only thing i want blizz to do about it is make it so that people that either don't get their way, nerdrage after 1 wipe, or getting the piece of gear they want and teleporting out and sitting there demanding they get kicked so they don't get the debuff

I'm sorry, but my 232 Resto Druid could probably have done more damage than a 359 huntard with all those problems.
You can't control what you get in a random dungeon, so either man up, grow a pair, and run with them or stop pugging through LFD.
