YOUR TUTORIALS SUCK at teaching players how to play jobs.
  • Hyperbolic venting. Check.
  • "I've been playing since 1.0, but only decided to start a forum account in the last 4 months". Check.
  • or, perhaps "I'm a new player and know everything about the long history of this game".
  • Tutorials that no other game has are absolutely necessary in this one, even though it's a dumbed down, braindead game to play. Check

I'm a "veteran player". I'm not upset with the changes. I was perfectly happy with Bow Mage, probably because I didn't generally run around the dungeon like I was a blindfolded chicken. My SAM alt doesn't have any issues nor do I particularly miss Kaiten. My DRG alt is having fun with the greatly shortened jump animations. I enjoy the feel of Summoner as much post-change as before.

So, not every "Veteran Player" is upset.

There are plenty of new players, yeah. The majority of paying subscribers, on the other hand, absolutely know what they're getting into at this point. The non-subscribers have plenty of time to discover that they don't like job X anymore, and wouldn't be playing if they had to pay anyway.

Tutorials: Name two other MMORPGs with a tutorial system that teach 'how to play a job'. Make it starting level tutorials, and, later, at each level in which the job changes dramatically because of new synergies assigned to job actions. Actually, name one that fits that particular demand well. I'll wait.
