Yeah, silly, but that is one reason and the higher I got in level, the worse I have felt :) In addition, my character is quite set up for solo play and not playing for healing in instances (I play a Priest on the Horde side by the way, just reaching level 60!!).

And don't worry about this on Terenas if you get a group of Lurkers (but as you said your time doesn't match so well with some of us over there). Feel free to say, hey I'm pretty new to instances and not sure of my group play but we'll be patient and give you tips and tricks and if we have another healer aournd let you play as DPS too (though in many places VE can do a lot if not all of the healing needed. Treesh and I were one pull away from duoing all of the SM library with a warrior and my shadow priest as L37, same level as Doan, we just made one mistake and died to the last 3 pull of the L36 elites, VE did the majority of the healing on that run, of course I'm a very experience healer having been only healer in many instances with both my druid and my paladin and healing several of the lowbie instances with priests and shaman).
There are several lurkers over there who would be more than happy most days to head back to a lower instance with you too so you could get the quests done. Heck you might even be able to help a few lower level alts get through some of those places if they don't mind having an L60 in an L30 something instance (which at times I don't mind. I found it can be quite fun just recently my L40 mage was escorted through the SM Catherdral to finish a quest by a 60 shadow priest and a 60 rogue. I had fun seeing how much damage I could do, 15% of the total on the run, if I could pull aggro at all, yes if I hit early enough and got a crit followed by a crit fireblast, and trying to make sure I didn't get adds while vacuuming up the loot that was set to FFA). But again, I think all of us over there understand the issues with the difference in time zones. :) But lurkers do their best to try and make everyone feel comfortable. There are several examples but one that sticks out for me a lot is Mirajj over on Stormrage. He too had pretty much solo'd up to around level 36 or something and hadn't don any instances. I recall some of the runs in Scarlet Monestary and Uldaman with him. He seems to think it was a good experience getting in there with lurkers mistakes and all, at least that is the impression I get when we reminicse about it. :) So don't worry. If you make a mistake we'll do our best to let you know and try to give you tips on how you might be able to do stuff better or just give you some food for thought and maybe learn something in the process ourselves. :) Timezones permitting of course.
