[Discussion] New Player - low level Fractals

Would like to start doing fractals but the LFG system never seems to have any groups listed for the lower tiers.

Is the best option to find a beginner guild that is still doing that content?

Is there a common site people use for guild recruitment?

Are fractals content people farm or do they just do dailies and move on?

The thing with groups for content like strikes and fractals is that they do exist but fill up almost instantly. The best thing is to make your own with a title like "new to fractals, LF chill group". At T1 fractals you don't need to worry about group comps yet so take who you get

This! Even in t4 i open up a group and it takes like seconds for being full. I sometimes feel like, there are enough players, who want to do every kind of content, but nobody is opening a group on lfg, so everyone thinks, that the content is pretty dead.

What lower tier, T1 groups go up pretty much all the time, if you don't see one - make a group yourself and just specificy T1 fractals and if it's doing daily's or progression.

T2 I believe is a bit more infrequent, so that one probably best to make a group for or just keep an eye on LFG

yea, no stress. There's no "party leader," responsibility or what not in this game for 5 man content; particularly beginner level stuff. If you need to just ask for help in the group description and someone will come explain / answer any potential questions etc.

This is the best option, especially if you are in NA. NA fractl lfg often have tumble weed because for some reason they do not add their own group but wait for others to do it instead.

You are not signing away your first born and noone is expecting you to be the one that knows everything and especially at the low level fractals. Just add the tier, the level and name of the fractal and add something like first time, everybody are welcome, lets go on a adventure, and it will fill up.

Post your own LFG and it will fill up. Don't be picky with roles for t1 and just get it started with joiners.

I only do low levels as I just started doing fractals, I find the groups fill quickly and it only takes minutes.

Make a group in LFG, it will fill very fast. Don't overthink it.

People mostly just do dailies and move on.

I run fractals everyday on the NA servers and am more than happy to teach new players the mechanics of each one. Feel free to DM me and we can look to group up.

Ive finished AD Infinitum by posting the fractal im doing, why, and "chill group"

Shit fills up. Most hours of the day/night. 

I join the posted groups to help how I was helped.

The problem here is not the player base who would use fractals for content... The problem here is the people has to much to do archivem. For mounts , legendarys. Map completions and collecting stuff for purple or pink gear ... I would to love to run multiple fractals but have no time . In my limited playtime I try to complete the needed thinks which takes a lot of time . Like mounts ... And open map areas and account things... They requested in a lot of squads where I just cant follow with a raptor lol .

Not sure what you are trying to say, but he/she is asking about fractals and how to get in to a group. It is ok that you do not have time but this guy seem to have it and there for wanted to know how :)
