We need rails. There are many people who are finding existing content very challenging. Also, many people finding 'what to do next' extremely challenging and difficulty.

Think of how many times you were in a party to start a quest, but someone did not finish the pre-requisites.

Need big glaring words to appear in front of you: YOU MUST GO <HERE>. DO not ask for a party. You not need a party yet!

And this will help those who do not need 'rails', as it means they will not have to wait around for others to finish the pre-reqs.

OR.....
We train everyone to read and do critical thinking?
