Please implement something to teach players how to play

[Ralph2449]

Reminder that most people who talk about "requirements" never actually talk about the actual mathematical requirements and instead they obsess over inflated requirements that allow them to literally quickly roflstomp content because apparently not doing something efficiently and fast is literally the worst fate for such people.

I am sorry but when content can be easily done with literally half an optimal dps player, going around demanding l33t top performance from everyone is moronic.

It is the same thing as in wow where elitists keep demanding ridiculously inflated requirements, pretending it is so they can do the content when literally even mythic raids and high m+ can be bought with the buyer AFKing at the start which shows all those inflated elitists requirements are complete BS.

You realize that inflation is almost always proportionate to the likelihood of encountering underprepared players, who would otherwise force replacements to have even a chance at progressing beyond phase 1, right? Yes, there are some who want to be carried through burst phases or mechanics by gear levels, but for the most part it's just to ensure minimal replacement is necessary upon entry.

For my part, I can take an undergeared alt, link prior experience, and get invited just fine, because the risk they take on me is already thereby minimized.

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'd guess it's still hit and miss. If the player knows what to be on the look-out for, the ingame information is mostly sufficient -- though a brief search externally as to clipping ideosyncracies, and some familiarity with raid CDs outside one's own job (for alignment, etc.), etc., can be worthwhile icing on the cake.

If they don't know what to be on the look-out for, or have yet to be drawn in to those kinds of habits of gameplay... it might be far from enough, especially since across the learning experience relies on motivation that just isn't relevant until that experience's very end (Extreme or harder content).
