This can be a control scheme thing or just a result of normal encounters not requiring a run-and-gun approach to succeed. A "speed bump" mechanic to get the players to start thinking about how they can do that before hitting end game would be better than finding out in an 8-man savage/extreme group.

Savage encounters are one of the worst places to learn about this because the person in question doesn't know he's supposed to be attacking when moving and everyone is way too focused on mechanics to notice him. So by the time someone informs him he needs to attack while moving, it usually took four to six attempts to notice it.

So again, a mechanic that requires movement and actions at the same time to avoid damage, kind of like the "ice" mechanic on some trials, would probably be a good addition to the game's end-game dungeon encounters, if only to get players thinking about how to do that.
There's enough for people do learn in dungeons. It remains the starting point for learning mechs. For more advanced content, you step into trials and raids. (see: Vanaspati > Zodiark) You also start looking at some of the guides fellow players have taken the time to put together. Anytime I see people struggle in the EX / savage content, I always point them to a Mizzteq guide because the explanations are well done and better than I could do in the limited space of the chat box.

Perhaps the problem is people aren't running the dungeons and other content enough to where they actually learn beyond the first run through. There's so much that's recycled, but people don't even realize it because they rushed through and opted for things like pvp and prae to level up. It's time for people to take some personal responsibility in all of this. I've been told I take things too seriously, but it's clear folks don't take things seriously enough or they might actually get some proper enjoyment from clearing the content with fewer problems and getting better rewards.
