YOU ARE A NEWBIE
This is the first time you are doing the Dungeon/Primordial, or this is the first time you're doing it as your current job. This is what you have to do, because it's your role as a newbie:
- Try to read a guide or watch a video about the run you want to do. There are some spoiler-free if you want, they will summarize what you should expect and what you need to be aware of.
- Say that you are new and if you will watch the cutscenes (tip: you can skip them and watch them again at the inn).
- Show that you are willing to learn, and learn. What it means is: you have to learn and avoid doing the same mistake twice.
- Check your own gear, repair it if need be. Also, be sure that your gear is suited to the content you want to do. If you can overgear (like, leveling up 45 for Garuda (normal) and doing your job quest, or farming a few FATEs to grab some stuff from your Company), do it. But don't go in if your weapon or most of your armor is obsolete. Reason is: as a tank you might lose aggro, as DPS you might not win some "DPS Race battle", and as a Healer, you might simply die and condemn your party to an avoidable death.

YOU ARE AN EXPERIENCED PLAYER
- Shout for a group/for mates if you want a speedrun. Don't use the Duty Finder or you might meet newbies who won't be able to go as fast as you want.
- Ask if someone is new, because you will need to explain the strategy if someone is.
- Explain the strategy. It's faster to tell people how to do something rather than finding another group, dying over and over again, and even faster that swearing. Newbies role is to learn, yours is to teach.
- You will be a newbie every time you change your job role for a dungeon or a primordial. Your placement won't be the same, your focus will change and the general pace of the battle will be different. You'll also be a newbie each time new content will be released. Don't forget it.
- Welcome newbies. Newbies won't be for long. Being a newbie and being bad is not the same thing. You can meet a great newbie who will learn a lot of stuff on the fly and ends up being one of the best player you ran with so far. He/she might even be better than you in the end.



If you don't do this, whether or not you are a newbie or experienced, I have to inform you that you are a bad player. Therefore you are ugly, no one likes you and you deserve to have bad groups.
However, if you are doing what I just said, you are beautiful and your mom is really proud of you.

Oh, and, don't forget two things:
- the "MVP" system coming in. Being nice and helpful will mostly be rewarded.
- the kicking system. Lying as a newbie or being a hateful experienced player will probably "reward" you with a kick.
