Rats! Almost 14 months into this game and I'm still a newbie! Heh heh.

NEVER DESTROY COPPERS!! Kindly drop them near zone edges when poor newbies
like me can pick them up (said the encumbered bard twisting Selo's & Chant

I'm worse, I have a hard time dropping fishing grubs.

It depends on your interests in the game. If you're playing to level, and
your twinked, then you're better off to play with other twinks. Likewise if
your class can solo yellows and your in a group pulling yellows, then you'd
be better off to solo (unless your seeing a huge reduction in downtime). I
don't hold it against people who choose to play this way.
Personally I look at level first. I level extremely slowly, so if I can
group with someone who's a lower level than me, there's a chance that I
might still be within grouping level range with them the next time we're
both on. Personality matters, but that's not as quickly apparent. Class
doesn't matter at all. I like to experiment with different group make ups
and find ways to make each combo work.
