Please implement something to teach players how to play

[Neoyoshi]

How did I learn to play the game?

I just played the game tbh. I read tooltips, ran Sastasha over and over (until I got confident), that kind of thing. Only time I went external was to check out the balance for Savage content (because I didnt want to be dead weight.) I also had a buddy tell me I could pull everything from the moment I started the game if I used my CDs. Maybe that was too much of an advantage lol

But you played through the game right? Like most people?

I'm asking because everyone who plays through the game is supposedly being taught how to play their specific role; the Job story quests are there for that, as well as the levequests, the Smith NPC for Novices; and just playing and learning from mistakes are all of this games tools that it uses to instruct people.

I don't think you are an elitist or anything, but i get the sense that when you wrote that post, you were possibly frustrated? Am i wrong? I also get the sense that what you are really asking is for people to be better- more prepared players.

Look, there is nothing we can do with what is going on with people outside of a game, we are human beings with lives, sometimes life just gets in the way, sometimes a phone rings, or there is a knock at the door, or a baby is crying.

There's bad internet, PC issues, heck, the other night a FC-mate of mine was running a Ruby EX and her wireless controller died on her, even though she made sure to fully charge it before the Ruby runs that night; and she was franticly looking for her controllers cord to plug it in.

Life just happens man, we can't do anything about that; I'm sorry if this sounds patronizing- but I think we all could exercise more patience and compassion with each other while we play.
