You dont have to know nothing to clear normal contents. Just be in there.
That's wrong and that's why WOD is still the most difficult ARR's alliance content, and I dont mention Dun Scaith or even the Rabanastre arc...
It doesn't promote ignorance, it encourages you to learn and find other people to do stuff. It's actually quite user friendly... a lot of people are sadly just ignorant by default. Yes, the info is still limited, but this is nothing new. This is gaming in general. It's been this way for years. This is why guides exist. They show you a certain amount and then let you learn along the way and figure things out. I touched on this earlier. People want to dive right into something and not be hit with a ton of info all at once.

Not all the info they give is shown in text. A lot of the arenas are intentionally designed to have points of interest where things will happen. If you look and pay attention to that stuff, you'll learn plenty. Alliance raids from the get go have always pointed you north and shown you how to split into your three parties and where you go. It amazes me that people still fail to catch on to this into the more recent expansions. More recently, they've even started tethering you to the mobs you're supposed to go fight.

The game actually teaches you a lot if you go back and play things over again, but it seems like people just want to one-and-done things to get to the end. It's not the developers' fault people are like that. It's an unfortunate mentality that just exists.

In the social environment like this, what happens with interactions and such falls way beyond the scope of what they can feasibly provide. All the rules and such are set to guide people, but it's mostly beyond their control. It's up to the players to make some choices and ask questions and seek info as regional communities do things differently.
