Hello,

My girlfriend and I are pretty new to FFXIV, though not to MMOs in general. However, the required dungeoning here is new to us, and it was a surprisingly positive experience up until Lv 50.

Unfortunately, though our experience in dealing with the Lv 49 and 50 Full Party instances has been abysmal, with inconsiderate groups who seem intent upon blitzing the content and removing any enjoyment or epicness from it. This was painfully pronounced tonight when we queued for Castrum Meridium, where we were locked out of at least one boss fight and completely unable to watch the cutscenes, which ruined the story aspect of the dungeon entirely.

But there's not much point in just complaining about that, so instead I was hoping to put together a premade group for The Praetorium some evening this week. I'm totally fine with other first-time players or experienced players, basically anyone interested in coming as long as they wouldn't mind not speed pulling and waiting for the cutscenes to finish.

I play Paladin, my girlfriend plays Summoner, and I feel we're both competent players at the very least. While I'd prefer to get a full group together for this, at least a second tank and a healer would likely be enough to stop it from turning into the kind of experience we had tonight. If you're interested in joining or just kind enough to help, feel free to contact me here or in game (Zaekerial Stormfury) and I'll try to find a day and time that works for everyone.

Thanks for taking the time to read, and have a good evening!
