Okay, I've just reached the part in the story where I have to queue for my first dungeon in order to advance the main story. My questions are:

1. Do you really have to do the dungeons in order to advance the main story? Is there any way around it? I've never done a dungeon (new to the whole grouping thing).

2. Are there any benefits to doing the main story?

3. Can you level without doing it?
