I don’t think anyone is surprised to hear that GW2 has a bit of an issue when it comes to getting new folks into raiding. Groups require a ton of KP, and people struggle to find training runs. And yes, I know there are guilds dedicated for that, but not everyone knows about them, and it can be intimidating for some folks jumping into massive servers.

So I wanna do my own training raids. Not really with any schedule, just wanna pop in LFG and see if I can get some folks whenever the feeling strikes me (pun intended :P). The only thing stopping me right now is that I’m a bit nervous about not being the best at it. I’m not super comfortable talking to stranger in voice chat, which might make explaining mechanics more difficult. So with that in mind, a couple questions:

1. Are folks generally okay doing training runs without voice chat and having everything explained via text?

2. Do folks that have run training raids have any tips for making runs go a bit smoother?
