Not true at all.

Dungeons teach roles, and the learning curve is absolutely perfect for beginners. Skipping them is a bad idea unless you're experienced, and even then it's good to ease yourself into the specific mechanics of the game so you're not a burden to your team as you learn during later game. Fates teach you nothing but spam, and there's absolutely 0 need to know anything about mmos before this game to be good at it /if/ you use the dungeons as they're supposed to be used: as a learning tool.
