Tale of two toons

Here is a summary of two different gnomes who have spent the last two weeks living inside the random dungeon finder.

Mudge (lvl80 mage):
This fellow managed to level without ever once pugging.In fact he had never run an instance with a full 5 man compliment before the LFD.As a result he is used to casual runs with a couple guild mates.There was always time to enjoy the scenery,loot or just generally mess around.Crowd control and planning were actually part of his repertoire.
Needless to say, the random runs he gets now are a bit of a culture shock.He is thrust into heroics he has never seen before and caught up in the mad dash to the end.Everyone is in a hurry and the slow or weak are left behind to die.It is sometimes rather intimidating to find yourself among the worst geared in the group on top of being totally clueless about where you are going or what is expected of you.But you know what, it has actually made me a better player.The relentless pace has forced me to manage my mana on a level never required before.My situational awareness and threat management are being perfected.I find myself adapting to the various boss mechanics and widely differing group dynamics faster every run.It is a trial by fire and so far he seems to be holding his own.
There are a lot of people complaining about this new system allowing failplayers to be carried and gear up in epics they never earned.I have yet to experience it.Any complete noob that doesn't bother trying is quickly left behind.The fucktards that sometimes grace our presence are vote kicked so fast it will make your head spin.These groups are after one thing only.They want their emblems as fast as possible.They have zero tolerance for the lazy or stupid.
It is natural selection at it's finest.

Wizzlesnot (lvl33 rogue):
This little guy is living the dream.He is dripping in heirloom gear and has a cartel of 80s funding his habits.Thanks to the LFD he no longer even needs to quest.He has fully embraced the mercenary lifestyle and has so far gained over 7 levels with it.His typical day is spent relaxing in Ironforge with a beer in one hand and a fishing pole in the other.Every so often the call will go out and he will find himself ported to the entrance of some random dungeon.He will quietly and efficiently kill everything in his path and when the final boss drops he gets paid and then leaves without a word.
