    MANDATORY PROVING GROUNDS

    There needs to be mandatory proving grounds every 10 level people do not know how to do their job in dungeons which results in the group getting killed by the trash mobs. And it needs to be specific to class and actually difficult so people stop getting their whole team slaughtered and making the game terrible for others. End rant.

    That kinda sounds fun actually.

    They give you a full party of AI, that fight a scripted boss. You're objective is based on what your job is.

    Have grades based on performance, and give you tidbits of what you could do to improve.

    Basically what you want is a Guildhest that is compulsory - not a bad idea, but then, that's technically what the first three dungeons are supposed to do anyway. They're easy enough for new players to learn how to actually run a dungeon and learn their roles. But of course, too many just ignore the story after level 15 and just FATE grind. Even if it was made compulsory, it wouldn't help - just like driving tests too many people will just either ignore it completely and leave the game, or do what they need to do to just pass that part and then continue to mess around in 'normal' parties/dungeons.

    You can't stop human stupidity and ignorance sadly no matter how hard you try.

    That's why it's every 10 levels and mandatory the difficulty increases and forces them to do it this giving them a better understanding of what they should be doing, how they should do it and in what situations.

    Don't the first three dungeons or even every story quest dungeon bring party/group mechanics into focus for people? Some people are just bad at games and/or don't care, it's going to be inevitable.

    They could easily do this by boosting the incentives for first-time completion of guildhest, speed of completion (hamlet style grading, anybody?), while increasing the degree of difficulties and variety of lessons taught.

    Could even be done with hard modes of older guildhests.

    All they would have to do is tie the appropriate level of guildhest into a prerequisite for dungeon entry. Problem solved ^^
