Please implement something to teach players how to play

Welcome. Have fun. Take your time and enjoy the game.

And ignore the forums for your first half-year. Well, at least try to stick to the job and lore related posts and ignore most of the General Discussion posts.

This post, for example, started out as "I'm frustrated. SE, do something to teach these people how to play", and devolved into "yeah, I have people who don't play to my expectations", and then further devolved into analogies that equate people who don't play the way (or as well) as others to people who prefer Communism because they're "lazy".

Let me give a new player perspective as I just started a few weeks ago. (my own, not speaking for anyone).

I have read your whole post, and thank you for joining, this thread has become a small train that is derailing. I think you are doing extremely well! You are not what most are referring. There are people who are purposely not using skills because they just #don't feel like it, and take perverse pleasure in griefing sprouts within dungeons preventing them from actually completing a story mode dungeon because the skills do not look pretty enough to them.

Those are some of the posts anyways. I was here because I was overwhelmed by the mountain of information dumped onto me throughout my beginnings, and was hoping there were other things that could be added within the game to learn when I was done with the post ARR grind. Minfilia just took my soul away at the end, and the constant pop ups of endless tutorials between trials and dungeons was way too much for me. I had to disable them, and just read them later.

This post, for example, started out as "I'm frustrated. SE, do something to teach these people how to play", and devolved into "yeah, I have people who don't play to my expectations", and then further devolved into analogies that equate people who don't play the way (or as well) as others to people who prefer Communism because they're "lazy".

I honestly thought this was a thread on what systems or changes could be done to help players who are just starting out within the game, and who wish there was something more to teach them besides killing a million opo opos. I am suprised there are still opo opos out there and they have not gone extinct. Those opo opos even have ties with the lady bugs and squirrels, an unspoken bond of friendship that allows for them to instantly know when you begin to aim at an opo opo and all of them aggro to you at the same time. Do not forget the level 17 giant tree that is right there to hand your intestines back to you after you attack the wrong opo opo.

I do not know how things have gone into a spiral of very angry individual who keep assuming everyone is an elitist or some such nonsense.
