QFT.
I was in KPC in Sol B (for anyone who may not know: Kobold King-Priest-Champion area in a dungeon in EQ) once with a pickup group, and to our dismay our healer had to log out almost as soon as we reached our camp. The only other avatar in our group who had some sort of banana heals was my pally, a half-elf with a dismally low wisdom, and thereby a puny manapool. The only one LFG in the zone was an enchanter. After a brief discussion we decided to invite the enchanter and see if we could push the envelope with the classes we had. We ended up staying there for 6 hours straight without any wipes (iirc, we needed to replace people only twice).
That was probably the best teamwork I have ever experienced. We used every skill we had, every tactic we knew. We had every spawn spaced out and used a stopwatch to keep track of them. And everyone with a manapool kept saving every scrap of mana at every possible opening, casting as late as possible. It was utterly exhausting almost non-stop fighting, but it was incredible fun! The warrior of our group did an impeccable job at managing aggro. Kudos to him!
Conclusion: not all pick-up groups are evil and you never know who you are going to meet
