Hey, Octofury, hope you’re still watching.
I have no idea why I didn’t say this before, because I always do, but the best way to get your feet on the bottom rungs of the ladder is to join a community. (A guild as well, but a community generally comes with fewer strings.)
Let me mention two communities that have Discords you can join
WoW Made Easy
http://discord.gg/wowmadeeasy
I have read they are a bit ban-happy if you say or do ANYTHING that might be even slightly “triggering” to ANYONE, so be aware that this is a Very Safe Space.
See for example https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/11gnw2q/what_is_wme/
