Who need PuGs when there are friends around?

Again a month has passed since my last post but I have been busy. My wife and my druid hit 80 and we started to farm the heroic instances and are quiet geared by now (thanks to the new emblems, how I love thee :-D).

First I was tank/healer with dual-spec and my wife was DPSing with her shadowpriest. But one day we had quite a few problems with the first boss in Gun'Drak and I asked her to heal. We barely killed Sla'Dran but since then my wife is discipline by heart. Now we find groups fast and I respecced to tank/dps (cat^^).

But most of the time, we hang out with the same people and our friend-lists grew up fast. We hardly use the LFG channel and fill the missing spots with our friends. Even some goblins think social behavior is some kind of waste I think we save something more precious: time and fun!

When we had to search some randoms it took us time. Some of them were bad and so we lost time in the instance, too. Some had great gear and tried to finish the instance in 5 minutes. Those created stress and were less fun.
But now we ask a few friends, the answers come quick and we know they know their business. This makes the runs fun and fast. Sometimes we push their alts because they need a bit gear, sometimes they push us with their Ulduargear. But always it is fun and nothing can beat this.

You can make a lot of money but why when you don't want to spend it? ;-)
