Something need to be done in how tanks acquiring Provoke

[Nuna]

FFXI, thankfully, was released before the hand holding generation of MMO players came along, so very little was ever explained. You learned a lot of what was expected via the community. SE takes the approach that some things you just have to pick up as you play and interact, even some parts of FFXIV are designed that way. Some folks think this is just insane, that a big flashing banner should pop up warning you about the necessity of provoke. To some of us however, this is very unnecessary. I actually hate when a game constantly interupts your play to offer hand holding help at every turn. Im an intelligent person, just give me the basics and let me play - Ill figure it out.

YOU can figure stuff out. A lot of people can't. They need to make their game as idiot proof as possible when 1 person's gameplay can inconvenience other people.
