I mean, pretty much walked head first into the point there. It took a paragraph to say it, but the message is undeniable, "Get gud, learn to play." Sure it is masked with "know the basics of your class" and "they aren't outputting normal damage", but the message is the same. To which my retort would be, "Yes, but where do you learn those skills?" In the Crawl, walk, run style most MMORPG's take, where is the crawl? There's not. There's just a community of people that all get to claim to have been "playing since beta" telling people like myself, that are new, we should inherently know the basics of our class so we can put out the same damage as people that "have been playing since BETA, just took a break."

I'm a new player to the game, and I just learned about how the GS works and priority missions. I don't PvP for the exact reasons stated here. There is a huge learning curve with no "newbie" zone, and basically everyone I have spoken with in game (and from the looks of it, the forums as well) all state the same thing, "It is frustrating, broken, and the people are toxic." So nope. I'll be avoiding that whole scene. This is a game I am playing for enjoyment and escapism, I don't want it to feel like a second job or feel the need to rage quit because of the issues listed here. Y'all can keep that hot mess. One question I will ask. Everyone keeps saying, "Learn to Play". For those of us that are new, don't have end game gear, and have yet to step foot into a match....where? Where do we learn to play? When you step into PvP you are expected to be an instant subject matter expert on every mechanic there. If there is no chance for progression of skills, I ask again, learn from where?
