Please implement something to teach players how to play

Title. (and no, the smiths outdated tutorial doesn't count)

I'm getting sick of running dungeons, trials, etc. whatever the hell content, and people just don't have a clue.

The usual suspects are out:

- Healer who stands still, doesn't deal damage, cant even keep up with healing
- DPS who single targets mobs when you have like the entire dungeon on you
- Tanks who just sit there and pull 1 group at a time
- People at max level who have no damn idea how to play their class whatsoever (example: Fire 1 Mage at level 80.)

What the hell is going on?

I've been feeling like I'm some crazy elitist just because I have an expectation that you have like an iota of competence.

IDK, detract me. Thanks.

Also, Im not going to bother trying to teach people things in game. Been there, done that. You get screamed at.

TO clarify: I'm mainly concerned about level 70-80 characters having these issues.

-That Healer might be new to healing or new to the dungeon or new to FFXIV. Usually you can tell when a good healer is just...not dpsing. If they 'can't keep up' then thats a good indicator that they lack experience either in the content or their job.

Unfortunately due to jump/skip potions and trusts, these players may have very little experience playing with others.

-If you have less than 3 mobs, the general consensus is to single-target. But other than that, I feel you on this one. Its terrible when it's BLM, who have such awesome aoe capabilities.

-See first one. Usually a single-pull tank indicates that they may not know the enemy groupings or have lower level gear. It's another lack of experience thing. I don't view it as just blatantly being bad. For some, its a preference.

-Problem is, the game doesn't teach you anything really beyond the very basics in gameplay. There are tons of ways to level in the game where you can basically button mash it (Fates, PotD, HoH, squadrons, Trusts) so people stepping into roulettes for first time get kind of a rude awakening.

In any case, the easiest solution is not to implement more in game development or to depend on a bunch of people to gain more experience but rather to simply....have patience. Or remove yourself from the instance. Or remove them from the instance, if your group is like-minded. *Shrugs*
