Immediately i said no, the average player most likely does not realize that they are holding back groups by playing badly.

This is just based on experience in Dungeons/PF, but some people are completely clueless when it comes to actually PLAYING the game..

This bought up a second question: What can the game do, to TEACH people to play properly.

Should the game teach people about Melding Gear, Rotations, Openers and other things that will help them in the Endgame?

Any thoughts?

Why? You're being spoonfed.

I think the game does a poor job through their tutorial system to teach anything. It is a bunch of windows that pop up when you do just about anything that become more annoying than informative after it happens 10 times in the first 5 minutes of playing the game. I think SE could definitely incorporate better use of showing players things through their U/I like grey out the screen and highlight the parts they want you to pay attention to, do more active tutorials that show you vs make you read, and completely redesign the hall of the novice to focus on teaching you absolute basics like what we have no with aoes but also adding in more "Hover mouse over the ability to see the tooltip, here is where it tells you what combo to use after this ability, go ahead and try it out on this dummy" type stuff rather than press 1 and 2 a few times, cool you got it, also here is some arbitrary NPC text that you may or may not see depending on what you have going on in the chat window.

Please provide me with information on any other MMORPG in the world that does this. Be specific. Optional content does not count. Early tutorials do not count.

Still waiting. For all of you still insisting that the game "teach" ... answer the above. Then we can actually discuss.

Probably should have more grey.
