/first_time_dungeoneer
After sitting around and never being able to land a group, I decided to start this custom channel and see if I could enlist the "newbs" or the "scrubs" or the people that didn't feel like running through dungeons, exploiting bugs, or being overly critical, or not really having kittens if we don't survive the dungeon or wipe or whatever.
I just want to experience some of the dungeons either successfully or after 10 or 20 injury kits and failing. I'm 45 years old and I am really far past the run through dungeons, leet dude push push that can go on, and just want a more casual channel that is willing to hopefully be full of folks that will just join up and try an epic dungeon.
If we don't have the stuff to finish the dungeon, so be it. If someone needs to take a bathroom break, so be it. I would hope that this channel would be populated by folks that don't kick people off the team at the end or do dirty tricks. Hopefully it will draw to other grandpas and grandmas like myself that are not in a huge hurry and just want to run through some dungeons without asking past what my Gear score is, or my fastest run through whatever dungeon x is etc etc.
Thanks for your time,

Not a grandpa yet.
I will try and remember to join your channel if my memory doesnt fail me.
edit: im not a ****, and i have all classes but tr upto 60, but wouldnt mind being able to find chilled out groups. Some pugs have been 20-30 minutes of nonstop hell.

Sorry for all the questions, but this is all very new stuff to me.
Just click into the chat typing area, or hit enter, then type in /channel_join First_time_dungeoneer and press enter again. That should get you into it.

I am confident in saying that all are welcome, (as long as you are joining to actually help others and/or are willing to be patient and learn, of course).

The problem with PUGS is that
1) They think they know what they are doing when they don't
2) A lack of communication often due to a lack of voice chat
3) Sheer exasperation.
As for PUG groups I never pug anything except CN, and only then when I know 2-3 people in the run. When you can clear CN in 40-45 minutes, why spend 2 hours suffering through a fail run for no loot? Why?
But if you want to learn and are willing to work for it and do things like listen and follow directions, feel free to ask me @chemboy613 sometime and chat

Yesterday I joined the channel, and I quickly found a party to the throne of idris and the frozen heart ... both completed!
@ Chemboy613 ... you add to the list of friends, I have a lot to learn
Aeris is my main pg (@grandinata)
I'll tell you a little story. I was stuck in the hospital for a whlie a few years ago (minor stuff, don't worry), and over here, we are usually forced to share the room with someone else. With my luck, I was placed in a room with a woman from another country. Which is fine, except she only spoke Italian. I don't speak Italian at all, so you can imagine the problem. But we were stuck in the same room for three days, and I thought it was going to be horrible. How do you spend three days in the same room with someone who doesn't speak a language you understand? But know what? We were both in this situation, and we tried our best to get along. In the end, we ended up using a lot of gestures and made-up sign language, and we had a great time. Once you get past the language-barrier (or get creative! hehe), you'll quickly notice people are pretty much all the same, no matter where you live. As long as we both accept the situation and try to get along, you'd be surprised what we can accomplish.
Anyway, I've done all dungeons up to the Grey Wolf Den (around lvl 40), but can I join the channel anyway? I like running dungeons with newcomers. I can perhaps offer advice when needed, but most of the time, I just tag along and try to have fun.
I play my TR level 60 toon almost every evening and mostly stay in the new zone doing those dailies. I have not completed about3 dungeons form the original areas mostly because the last thing I want is to play with a group that will speed run the dungeon and criticize every move myself or another player will do. I play the game for fun as well as an escape for the days workload at the office. I am a 50 year old Grandad, so fun is what I am looking for..........not "your an idiot because you play your TR wrong" etc....This finally gives me hope that I can share my "newbness" of certain dungeons with other players that are either new to this dungeon like me or simply want to share their experience and expertise and pass that information on.
Thanks for posting this information.
