    I waited for newbies, even if the rest of the party didn’t - once I learned the way through the area myself, which took a few runs! But I’ve had several rounds of staying behind waiting for someone to come out of the cutscene while everyone else dashed on ahead, because it’s a confusing place and being lost there alone is awful. If the fights were tougher I might have felt more conflicted between healer responsibilities and staying back, but the enemies go down easily enough that they could make do without me, and the waiting was more important.

    I commend you, believe me I do. I've done the same thing for newbies, and it only resulted in both of us being locked out of a boss fight. I am ok with that though. Like you, I know what it's like to be there alone and not having any idea what to do or where to go. You feel useless, and like a burden to everyone. The person that comes back for you is like an angel. Vets complain about the 35-50 minute runtime per instance, and seem to forget that the 10-15 minute runs for a newbie seemed like an eternity when you feel like all you are doing is holding everyone back.

    If everyone had a similar mentality, this wouldn't be an issue at all.
