Why Does It Feel Like Poor Play Is Acceptable (I'm Venting.)

This game needs turtorial for new players, that forces them to do them. Basic rotations, what to do when you see 3 or more mobs in a group together. You have a NPC tell you to do it and only way for you to beat the trial is you do excatly what the NPC tells you to do, otherwise you won't pass. They should do this. Then on dummy strikes they should add mechanics from fights on the dummy strike they trying.
Let's say NPC say, heavy thrust increases your damage by 10% for 30 seconds, allows you to do 2 -3 rotation during that rotation. If you don't do heavy thrust before hitting the npc or dummy, you wont pass. Simple stuff like that can make players get a long way honestly.

Cept the bad players will just skip the tutorial. Gating more content would have a much more noticeable effect. >.>

That's why I said it should be forced. In blade and soul, when you did the story you came to a part during the story some npcs would teach you how to do certain things and only way to get away from there is to actually do excactly what the NPC would tell you to do, otherwise you were stuck. You had to do it more than 3 times too. Also in FFXI there was a npc called maat, that you HAD to beat, otherwise you couldn't reach level 75. You had to beat the npc with the class you reached at 70, unless you already did it on another job, then you wouldn't have to do it again. Anyways a npc like that would been nice to, gate them behind something they have to beat by themselves to do basic rotations and selfbuffs etc, otherwise you would not be avaible to do certain things.

Imagine the outrage if we made Hall of Novice a requirement to enter your first dungeon.

I dont think they should do that, but they should definitely do it some quests after to prepare them for next dungeons etc . I honestly was thinking for a while to make a linkshell on my own server to help a lot of new players, because I think novice network is bad most of the time, besides there are too far ''mentors'' who doesn't even know how to play themselves,just leveled their classes to 60/70 to get the crown.
