Since most players will now skip that learning step of areas like the Dunes and Qufim Island, there may be some players out there completely unaware they are playing inefficiently, there is no harm in telling them how to improve, they can take the advice on board, or just ignore it and play how they want.
We are talking about two different things Tidus.

You can advise players how ever you want. And I was never debating the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of different play-styles.
