I started playing this game about a week ago but was a avid FFXI player. It was so much easier to throw up a party flag and search for people in FFXI. But so far in XIV, it seems hard to find a party to level up and just have general fun with other players. I have been ranking up on the wilds up to rank 16 when the levequests are on timer, but its starting to get slow, boring, and repetative...

In FFXI, you leveled up to about 10 then headed to Valkurm Dunes. My question is are there any places where low level people generally go to find a party or something? I've stuck around in Ul'dah for a bit but everyone is usually shouting for rank 44+ parties.
