If I'm not mistaken, the game does not give any sort of tutorial for the market wards unless you speak to the NPC infront of it. In XI you were given clear instructions on how to start and where to find the basic important locations such as the auction house and actually visit it. I feel this is something the game needs, especially when the PS3 version goes live.

Another thing which really could do with an ingame tutorial is battle regimens. A guy I know bought the game like a month ago and has been playing since, yet it was only the other day he found out about battle regimens because the game does not mention them or their usage whatsoever. Considering BRs are as deep as the combat in this game gets, you would have thought there'd be something set in place to tell you first that it's there and, secondly, how to use it.

So yes, the game does need more in the way of direction for new players but as it has already been said, they're working on it.
