Competence Check for Group Content

[Frizze]

Stealth was not "first seen" in any roleplay duty. Did you already forget about the quest where you have to track the woman to Victor's Spoils, which everyone whined about when Endwalker first dropped?

Plus, if you ever did the Rogue class quests...

"This is Thancred" comes before the Victors Spoils chase. Off the top of my head, i dont remember a stealth before that. Though, the Thancred duty isnt usually the one people complain about stealth wise.

This is the toxicity creep that accompanies "omg we need harder content"

I agree with a general competency check. Just enough to show players what's expected of them effort wise for clearing MSQ dungeons and trials. Anything beyond that is wishful thinking

This is the toxicity creep that accompanies "omg we need harder content"

Given the life expectancy of harder content is based on the endurance of the people engaging in it and the rate they clear it, we need less hard content and more content that can be done by everyone. Anyone who thinks arcade level difficulty merged with team content is good for community building has never experienced it. If someone isn't clearing savage in the timespan of 2-4 weeks, they are basically doomed to a vagabond lifestyle of going between multiple statics and likely having to break hearts along the way. I'd say this expansion has been especially bad since the window was even smaller, and getting a clear of the final fight is awful because of a strategy that has few good visual resources to work with.

looking at it, the two things would generally be is to make them mandatory at level 15 and at 49, (there is also a 3 level gap in ARR MSQ that this can easily fit in). add another one at level 30 that is also mandatory (along with getting your job stone) that also covers stuff such as weaponskill combos, using healing and when to use it, and when to use defensive cooldowns, tank stance, and using skills like provoke. (like the ring also, give the level 49 one a coffer for a weapon and some gear that can be used to level 55-60, and do the same for level 30-45 gear and an accessory)

to kill some issues with the wall of unskippable text, add in some voice acting to the ppl explaining the tutorials as this will help people to digest the information if they struggle to read (dyslexia for example), it is always a fair assumption that it won't completely kill player based skill issues, but it can help mitigate those issues for newer players overall.
