Then perhaps it is time to stop clinging to experiences in other MMOs and pretend they apply to everything?
Because that seems to be your real issue: you made some experiences with something that can losely be compared elsewhere and now applying it to something else without having practical experience and despite everything several experienced people told you and refuse to acknowledge that maybe different games have different approaches and that they can *gasp* even work.
I've never seen anybody laugh at someone setting a PF with that exact descriptions and I've hopped into plenty of them. They are simply regular learning parties late into the tier that welcome experienced people.
Don't make everything into something negative. Welcoming help is not the same as expecting a carry. I've seen more carries in clear parties than in practice from start parties - the people in the latter are generally very willing to learn and take corrections and advice to heart.
If you don't want to create a PF without extensive experience with Savage raiding that is your decision.
But don't assume others can't have success just because they didn't do it your way.
Several experienced raiders that PF'ed plenty of times said their piece. Take it or leave it.
You're welcome to cling to your "But it has to be impossible because I think so" belief - but I guess you won't be getting your glam. Nobody to blame but yourself.
I'll stop wasting my time convincing you that you would be perfectly capable of getting that dyeable glam you want so much by simply hopping into PF as an inexperienced raider. That's not my job.
We have given you everything you need, the rest is up to you. Best of luck with p2s.
All good and honestly, most of the time the everyone in the party, including the person who set up the PF, has markers saved and most people also have the macro saved. Someone posts it and the rest usually says they'll steal it if they don't already have one.
If someone is new to all this, a "new to this" in the descriptions helps to avoid giving off the wrong impression but there is nothing wrong to create a PF without extensive experience to kick things off and, as you said it "building confidence" - would be a shame to gate people from getting started just because nobody experienced happened to have already created a party that fits their bill.
In some rare cases you actually get 8 people with no knowledge beyond a guide and little experience in general. Some turn into chaos, some make genuinely impressive prog by acting in concert.
