I think I'll start with a good thing, then bad.

I had a good exp with PF, which surprised me. So I had to do Hydra for my Relic, but since it's not DF, I decided to try PF. So I went and started to recruit around Coreaths and advertise. Soon, I got a full party, all very nice to me. I explained that I was new to this, I can help with songs and silence. They very nicely explained the fight and after 3 wipes, still wanted to go on, so we all worked together and pulled it off.

My first bad experience was just last week, and I've been here since Alpha. I was trying to do AK for my relic and just got out of the fresh 50 boat. I tried AK various of times with nice Pugs, but this one was really mean. So I got in and started off with my nice speech, "I'm new, etc." WHM starts bitching... "Oh god... I was hoping for good geared players." and the Mnk says, " We are never going to finish this off." I start to apologize for my lack of gear, I just started. WHM then says, "That's no excuse to be badly geared, are you stupid or something?" But they stayed, just before we even made the first turn in the dungeon, the WHM D/C'd and we were like, what now? I then turned to the Mnk and said, "good riddance, who want's to play with two idiots like you? You were a noob once too y'know. Karma is a bitch." and left. Thankfully after that dillema, I went again and got a very nice pug group who even lead me to the last boss and defeated it. :3
