    It does not make much difference, though I gave the example of leveling 1-50...that was my example but your claim is you have never met a angry or rude veteran player in dungeons, only rude or angry new players. The fact by saying only ever is the newbies in dungeons you have run it exceeds just the leveling 1-50 range into the post-storyline, post-level 50 gear, seals, materials, tomes and vanity item grinds/dungeon runs. Your claim extends into that realm too which makes it even more likely a lie.

    I said in low level dungeons. You seem to keep forgetting that this is what the conversation is about.

    Show me where I said that I only experience rude newbies in lv 50 dungeons as well. Because I didn't. Anywhere. I may have vaguely said "dungeons" without adding "low level" to it, following my original post, but I thought you had the ability to follow my line of thought in that regards.

    You can't enter a level 50 dungeon until you GET TO level 50. So levelling from 1-50 doesn't imply level 50 dungeons too, just FYI, in case that confused you somehow.

    ....
    So you want to use weasel word qualifications now? BTW the OP is at level 45, Stone Vigil, Dzemael, Aurum Vale, are not exactly face roll friendly low level Sastasha anymore.

    I've seen people rage quit on those. My first crap experience was with a speed runner trying to speed run WP. The healer back then like myself was iLevel45+ or so SCH. Good luck speed running it. Then the tank rage quit on us. Nobody is a newbie at that point, but they all think they can dictate how everyone else is supposed to play. And ny resistance must be because the other newbie (i.e. me and healer) doesn't like advice.

    Funny thing was the advice was to get geared. Well what the heck were we in WP for...

    Though there are still the first timers going through those, like me, I'm level 50 but still haven't done any of these, except the Vigil.

    The reason for that is because the other two are not required by the main story but are done through the relic quests via requirement of grand company etc.

    I do feel bad but I understand the frustration. While leveling my SCH, I had queued in progress right before the first boss in Aurum Vale. The pulls were slow. The paladin was a level 50 (level synced to level 49, had gallant surcoat, etc) most likely trying to get his relic. At coincounter he didn't say anything. He got hit by 90% of the swipes and the only got out of 2 swings. We asked him to shield bash the glower and also avoid turning the boss around by running really far behind the boss so coincounter would turn around and cleave both him and a DRG. He kept getting hit by all of them even though after the first and second wipe we explained exactly all the mechanics and how to deal with them. He also ran in twice before I could put up protect and succor the group before his pull. The 4th wipe we had, there was a vote abandon.

    Yeah I have the Darkhold and Castum Meridianum still up on my screen to do, but just can't commit to the time to do them. Then still have to do The Praetorium to finish out the main quest.

    If you are in a FC, make sure you can get at least 2 tanks or 2 healers from your FC to do Castrum or Praetorium with you, with the understanding that they will let you watch the cutscenes. If you don't you will miss large portions of the story, because not all of them can be seen in the inn, and it just doesn't feel right in the inn either, totally messes up the continuity. If you only got 1 tank and 1 healer, the speed runners will single tank and single heal and speed run the whole thing and force you to skip cutscenes and sometime even miss the boss if you are lost. So the only way to guarantee this doesn't happen to you, is have 2 tanks or 2 healers, and then you can DF the rest. And hopefully they don't try to vote kick abuse on you or your FC tanks or healers.
