I was talking about this with a friend of mine last night. A so-called 'Flower Sniffing' Linkshell (to use the terminology from another game. You know...stop and smell the roses?); a linkshell of people who are actively -not- speedrunners, are willing and able to help new players, and are generally patient and knowledgeable...plus the aforementioned new players who'd like to be one of these people.

I'm not very good at running social things, though, and my bad luck would probably infest the whole LS if I tried to run it. But if anyone on Siren is up for it...I'd be happy to help out, at least with the lowerlevel folks. I level far too slowly to be of any use to upper levels yet, though.
