Pick-up group

Pick-up group, often abbreviated PUG, is an unofficial term for a team of players that get together spontaneously, often through Looking For Group tool, to complete instanced content together, typically dungeons, fractals, or Living World episodes.

Trivia

• This is the same term used for spontaneous teams created to play local athletic sports games, such as neighborhood basketball or park soccer.
• PUGs inspire strong feelings in the Guild Wars 2 community: some express enthusiasm for the opportunity to meet new players and complete content quickly; others are greatly frustrated by some of the behaviors or attitudes they see, stereotyping such players as elitist or bad at games or worse.
