Thread: Can't make Threads outside of this Area

So I can't make threads outside of this area of the forum, and I have a lot of questions. I was told it was because my level wasn't high enough in the game, but I'm level 28! Anyone of you guys capable of telling me what's needed?

I have a lot of questions about this game and as I'm new to MMO's in general I'm really enjoying it but playing in duties I'm constantly getting cursed at for not playing the 'right' way. No one though wants to take the time to tell me what I'm doing is wrong. I only just found out what pulling to early means, and that was after someone spent the better part of 10 minutes lighting up my chat box going off on me.

At level 28, you can only make one thread per day. Have you made one already?

No. And just to make sure I haven't done any drunk posting, I went and checked my previous posts, and the first one in here and two others about 3 weeks ago are all I have made. This was the first thread I have ever created.

Thanks. And I see you are also an archer. Would it be ok if I asked you some questions here then? Cause honestly I'm loving this game for storyline alone and main quests, but when it comes to actually getting into a duty and doing a dungeon, I'm hopelessly lost. My girlfriend plays as a healer, and her job is pretty easy, just point on whoever is in trouble and heal them, or crank out all the protection spells. Me on the other hand, people get mad at me and no one seems to bother wanting to explain what I'm doing wrong. I've only died once in an entire dungeon, and I make a lot of kills, but it doesnt stop the tank normally from cursing me out for no end.

You are just being grouped in with jerks.

That, or you are pissing them off and keep taking aggro off the tank, but I don't want to assume you do that.

Are you asking a run down on the entire dungeon or just the boss's?

I must have been lucky so far, no one cursed at me yet. Even though I was the cause for a wipe once. I usually ask if there is anything special in the dungeon and let them know that this is my first run at it. Sometimes I even skip the cut scene.
May be good to Google the particular dungeon too just to have an idea what's in there and what to actually kill, although I haven't done that myself yet.
As a rule of thumb I keep in mind to kill everything around the hard to kill boss and let the tank keep the aggro on it. Once nothing spawns any more, let loose on it and kite lots.

I don't need a run down on an entire dungeon, or even bosses, I guess just a better way to be an archer where I'm not pissing people off? Some of them even were cursing out my girlfriend because she would heal me when she should have just let me get KO'd because of all the mistakes I was making.

Anyway I just wanna know how to do the job better in Dungeons so at the bare minimum I'm not ticking people off. I wish I knew what I was doing wrong so I could give more specifics. But yeah, I thought my job as an archer was to set back and nail people with thins that decrease there abilities or inflict status ailments, while at the same time blasting away with arrows and just being an all around ranged combat nuisance. If that's not it then what is?
