I guess that is my point. As a guild, your value as a member is maximized by learning how to run instances. That's because from a guild perspective, your value as a memeber is how well you perform in the raid dungeons where the higher level loot is retrieved. So if you really want to group with folks and gain experience, the best way is to find groups going to dungeons available to your level. The grouping experience occurs in the instance dungeons.

I guess starting the game after it has been out for a while (and 7+ million players) puts me at a certain disadvantage. I have never been to the Deadmines, or some of the other interesting things around my level that are best experienced as group play. I understand that you can level faster solo, but my experience has been that as a group you can take out more mobs quicker than you can solo, so maybe it is a wash. McDonalds of gaming? The most fun I have had with the game has been as a group - teaming up with two hunters, or a paladin, or three frost mages, etc. Good stuff. As long as we are on the point. One thing to consider, from a guild standpoint - you being an officer and all - you have to remember that those of us new to the game are not going to be much help after we hit upper levels if no one ever groups with us. ;) Chris, like I said, I was not ‘calling you out’ or anything like that.

Yes there will be times when you'll need help with a quest and folks will generally respond to "I need help with such and such quest" requests as opposed to general grouping requests. And since almost all of us are trying to get to 70, we are concentrating on TBC content at the moment. Once I get to 70 with my priest, I will level my hunter more casually and enjoy WoW-life again :-)!
