Just because some players can't learn from experience doesn't mean most players don't. I personally have not seen that many dps players not use AOE attacks when 10+ mobs are pulled. For me personally, learning how to Dragoon was far easier for me because I started as a Lancer from scratch then when I became a Samurai suddenly at level 50. It took me 2 days with a house dummy to figure out how to arrange the Samurai abilities onto my hotkeys to get the rotations to even work, more days still to commit them to muscle memory. AAR introduces abilities one at a time, which is far better then introducing abilities a dozen at a time.
