The players that do not know what they are doing form a very small percentage. .
    Not so sure about this. I mean sure 95% of players might be able to play there roll well enough to clear a dungeon or something at the absoulute minimum of difficulty... but that bar is increbibly low to be realistic. a blm could literally /follow a healer with auto fire button set to blizzard 2 and he'd be doing enough to clear that dungeon... or a dragoon could literally just 123 123 123 and do nithing else and still do enough to clear low end content..

    IMO if what you say is correct and 95% of players know how to play there jobs effectively then the "huge skill gap" that Yoshi is addressing wouldn't really exist because if it's only 5% of the player base that's having a problem it wouldn't be a primary issue..

    I'd also say that if 95% of players knew how to play there jobs effectively the "no bonus" culture wouldn't exist either. because ya know if there's a 95% chance that bonus person knows how to play there job most people would be a lot more willing to give them a chance...

    and the success rate of various learning clear and even farm parties would be that much higher...

    you also get things like dun scaith. if 95% of an alliance knew how to play there jobs effectively that first boss would be dead everytime by the time the 4th square hit the ground. yet in how many groups do you see 6-7 maybe even all 8 squares on the floor..

    same goes for the second boss. if 95% of the alliance were effective at there jobs he'd be dead before the second fire/water puddles come up...

    as for class / job quests they really do nothing to teach you how to play your job. if I use paladin as an example i'm a tank. and in every job quest if I actually try and do my job. i.e tank. i'm gonna be dead and I'm gonna fail.... instead some npc does some stuff while I run a round a smack a couple of tiny mobs... teaches me nothing about my job.
