SOS! Game is boring me, only one week in and I feel like I'm playing wow again, no idea how parties work and spending all my time solo grinding or leves, this bores me to tears, any kind and helpfull soul on Besaid server wanna help me level/show me the ropes, playing with others is the reason I pay for an MMO. It would be nice to have a helpfull experienced player actively help the newer players make thier climb, so please and thank you to anyone out there heeding this desperate players cry for help. A.R.K?

You should shout in Ul'dah for a linkshell. That's the fastest way to make internet friends.
Don't be annoying. Don't spam every 30 seconds. Just politely ask for a social linkshell that will help you get on your feet. -

FFXIV is designed for party gameplay not solo, so playing solo more or less will drive you to quit this game after awhile. At least that is how it is for most ppl.
As Rau said get a linkshell, try to find one that is active. Once you get that you will be able to get partys, help leveling up, and everything else.
Xp will come about 10 fold faster, leveling will be less boring, you will have access to do different events outside solo grind.
It is a different game once you start partying with other ppl. -

Well, truth is I got invited to this LS, but the response I've gotten from them wasn't very helpful, it was more along the lines of busy doing thier own thing and telling me to just lfp or shout for parties. Not what I like to hear, but it's the main reason I dislike LSs they put on an aire like they're a cool group of helpful players but then when it comes time to help the "noobs" out they give the cold shoulder in favor of thier endgame/high end activities. :/

Or if SE was to do something like oh..... i dunno... ADD LEVEL SYNC?
where did that post go? maybe it's time to resurrect that one. -

Basically, you'd select one party member, and that would be the "maximum level" for your party. Anyone below that level was unaffected, but anyone higher than that player would become that player's level. Skills and base stats were lowered to match what they would be at that level, and gear was scaled "appropriately" (in quotes because higher-level gear that was scaled down was often useless, just like wearing Optimal Level:49 gear would be on a lower job in XIV). Go find Chief's thread if you want to see everyone's appraisal of the pros/cons, though. I don't want to hijack your thread here. :DQuote:

...crap, I said I wouldn't say anything. -

The problem is alot of people have all DoW/M level 50 so the only way they can help you is by PLing you, this means they go out of thier way for no gain, nice to see who actually wants to help people rather than get things for themselves.
Currently Yoshi-P is focusing the game around keeping the current playerbase to see it through to 2.0, at 2.0 there will be more low level content when he is expecing alot of people coming.
For you I would say it might be best to keep looking for other linkshells, you will find one that suits you, or you could put your flag up and grind leves till you get a party, or shout in Ul'dah, not many other options for you atm.
