I'd also be tempted to say expecting players to go through the available quests to get to what they're looking for or may prefer is more in line with what you were saying about pushing content on players, than giving them direction beforehand to prevent that. There's acknowledgement about the awkward placing of some of the quests that could use a little fine-tuning, so I don't see how that's much of a stretch from the suggested topic at hand.

And for sure, you can gear up on tomes, but EX trials in particular are the best and quickest way to get a decent weapon out the gate and it's often the first port of call for those looking into endgame.
