PuG Smart (Shocking!)

I've only done a couple of Vault of Archavon groups but I noticed that they did something really smart. There are three progressively harder bosses in VoA, one from each patch -- 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2.

Anyone who does VoA and downs a boss is saved to that raid instance, along with everybody else in that raid. So if anybody in your group isn't good enough to make it through the entire instance you're stuck with an unfinished raid that you won't finish that week (since you'll never get your pug back together).

I'm not sure why it didn't occur to me, but PuG groups always do the hardest boss first. If you can't kill the hardest boss you aren't saved to the instance and can try again in another group. I don't know why this never occurred to me, but I was pleased that pick-up groups do it right.

PUGs are surprisingly smart about this sort of thing, I've noticed that too.
