That is the new player experience. That needs to be improved.
Its as if no one has played an mmo before... I dont even think buying a skip should be a thing, earn what you have, play the game... If you dont enjoy it just un-sub, cut losses play another kind of game. there are things I dont like about this game either, but it mostly comes down to negative community brought to light by people on the forums who just dont actually wanna play the game.
