When the channels are forming just tell em you are inexperienced with the raid but you want to start learning the raids.  People typically have no problem with inexperience if stated beforehand, teach a new person to raid at your playtimes just means faster pug filling.  Some may say, "sorry only looking for experienced people", but not everyone will.  It is when it is stated after the quest starts and everyone assumes everyone knows what is going on that it is annoying to have someone new.

I play on argo, so no help to you.  That is your fault for picking a gimp server though for your second.  Ghallanda? Really? Come on 

You have a PM.

Ok, maybe I need to quantify my experience of raids a bit more for you guys.

I started playing in Feb last year, and have 3 capped or near capped toons, plus quite a few lowbies. In terms of time spent on the toons, probably the most has been on my FS and cleric, then on my exploiter build (which I know is not ultimate DPS but I have a lot of pretty khopeshes and she's fun to play).

Guesstimates on raid completions:

Chrono: 10 completions or so, a few at level. Not tried Epic.
VON: Probably 15 ish. Never done Epic. We don't run this a lot in MAC for some reason and I don't see a lot of LFMs up.
Titan: Um, about 10 ish. Annoying as hell.
DQ2: Probably 70 or 80 runs. I like this one and solo this one occasionally on my FS (still no Torc, sigh). Never done Epic.
Reaver: Probably 100 runs, sometimes shortmanning, mostly I throw up an LFM for the lols if I feel like some giant beating. Enjoy tanking this one on all my toons.
Shroud: Probably 70 or 80 runs. Only ever run normal as MAC runs are always normal and I am wary of PUGs on harder difficulties.
Abbot: This one I don't know well at all. Completed once, and I was cheating and being the DI caster at the time. I've hopped in and stared at the puzzles a few times but Mario is really not my thing and I'm scared of that eating your greensteel bug.
TOD: I think I've done 7 completions now (and learned never to check your laundry at the start of part 3 ). Been shying away from this in PUGs a bit after eating a lot of potions in a PUG normal because of mainhealing a Horoth tank made of tissue paper and blue cheese.

So that's where I'm at, if that helps. I have run maybe 10 - 15 epic quests, and have established that they are about as fulfilling as poking your eyes out with a spork.

and Ghallanda hater, pfffft I was joining a RL friend and their guild had already jumped ship to over there. The Spellswords seem much more organised about raiding (only flagged for VON over there so not seen them in action yet) which is partly what prompted this post I guess, seeing if I could scarfle up any other people who will tolerate a house trained semi newb

Tere brings the happy times.  I highly recommend her

Are you going to bring her home and make me "do things" again? Please don't hit me.

Why do I hear banjo music playing in the background?

OK, I was pretty drunk. I'm quite good at falling off ledges when sober too though

That was weird it was totally that song too.
