to make premades happen:
stop spamming pug button and take the matter into your own hand.
ask everyone you want to have join, friendslist, guild, steam/skype/facebook wherever you have your people. actually it's really smart to add guys outside aoc, since more and more people aren't always online ingame.
still not enough people? you can search who's in a minigame and see if there are any names you like. and you may surprise them positively with doing awesome premades, or be surprised yourself and make a new friend!
also, love amneru, well most of the time
