First, yes, gauges will help. I definitely find when I am on a class I am less experienced with, that I have a hard time tracking my whatever (i.e. huton/enochian etc.)

Second, the DPS floor is being raised by making rotations less complex (i.e. keeping up enochian in SB will be much easier than it was in HW).

-Where the * are the dungeons? What do you mean I have to do the main story quests? You can't tell me how to play! Questing is for noobs! If I wanted to quest, I wouldn't have spent all these months killing mobs in the world! And why does nothing drop loot when I kill it? I'm still in greys but I keep seeing all these players in blues, where do they drop? Besides I'm saving the quests for my alt.
-You know what the problem is with this game? I can't find the auction house in the major cities. I keep seeing these market boards, but the game won't let me use them.
-Wiping constantly to Proto-Ultima in DS.
-60 ACN: What's a job stone? Why do my heals suck? Why can't I summon my fairies?
-Ice mages
As for your point list..
-Raise the DPS floor (wrong, look above)
-What's a chocobo? -60 DK.. I have nfc what you are saying here
- How does teleport work?.. It's been a long time, but isn't there a quest that teaches you how teleports work? Is this really a complication for people?
-Where the * are the dungeons? What do you mean I have to do the main story quests? You're kidding right? What game doesn't unlock things through following quests. It's pretty straight forward.
-You know what the problem is with this game? I can't find the auction house in the major cities - Really? It's again, been a very long time, but I don't recall this ever being an issue.
-Wiping constantly to Proto-Ultima in DS. - with the DPS floor raised, and rotations more simple, people can hopefully focus more on mechanics.
-60 ACN: What's a job stone? Why do my heals suck? Why can't I summon my fairies? - Yeah, I am not sure if they do the best job of teaching the job system. Most people get it, so it's got to be there, but I will admit I googled it when I first started. That said, they have said they plan to abolish the class to job system at some point (I'm pretty sure)
-Ice mages As funny as it is to talk about, I don't think this is a frequent enough problem to address. I've never seen an Ice Mage in all my playtime since I started in 2013
