I suppose. I guess the solution would be to just kill all the retards. But I was under the impression that Aestu was fairly selective about his PUGs, and typically didn't let jimmy-drools-a-lot into his raids.
I wage my own little wars with the army that shows up. And part of the reality of pugging is that pugs are typically not a going concern and it is not as easy to compel individual players to function at their full potential.
I plan on having anyone who isn't a healer that has a tank spec to go tank, and tanking each of the melee-type mobs individually. I don't feel the need to make a point of proving the GDKP pug can do the content the "right" way if some other way is more suited to the means available to me. Although actually, I got the idea from <Excessive Gaming>-Illidan.
EDIT: Also, to be clear, I don't particularly mind stupid or bad players coming to raids as long as they don't take things that players who contribute at the level required by the content would want, or get in the way. If I'm zerging a level 70 raid, or doing the weekly, or doing ToC for some reason, or doing the first four or six bosses of ICC on Monday evening, it doesn't matter if the raid is mostly morons. That said, when it comes down to a matter of discretion, I'll usually decide against them and in favor of the players who are actually making the mobs die.
To set expectations grossly in excess of what is required by the content is the definition of elitism. I don't do that, the point of pugging is to make content accessible.
But of course if I'm pugging non-trivial content, then certainly I will put in place requirements in line with the raid's objectives.
