I have read up on some material on these forums and have a basic understanding of roles in a party, but at the same time I see people dodging new players like a bullet saying that they are not capable of handling the responsibilities of a party and thus I end up losing up on some party invites. Any tips on that?
Stay up to date with everything as best as you can. Do not just lvl all the way to 50 and when someone wants to goto quicksands caves you happen to mention that you dont have the altep-tele crystal.

Take time out to get the basics done. telepoints, missions, access to various places, gear, etc.

Imo, talking less is always better unless you are with a group of people you alread y know. I find that a lot of newer players jibber jabber way too much and it distracts them from the game.

When you're trying to grind through such hells holes like valkrum, people in the pt messing around, not taking things seriously, just makes the whole experience that much more troublesome.

I think for many veteran players, going through lower level zones is just painful because theyve done it 7, 8, 9 times already, if not more. Coming into a PT that just goofs off and does more banter than actually trying to get out of (for instance) valkrum asap, it just makes veterans want to avoid new players even more. They want to spend the least amount of time possible in those kind of crappy zones.

So far everything looks good on your part. Keep it up and good luck!
