I don't see how what I am suggesting breeds incompetent players. We still have some really bad players who manage to get into WoD all the time, and people who are darn near ilvl130 who still haven't figured out how to best play their class. The existing player base is not any smarter than any returning or new people, just more in the zone, to risk a pun.
It had been my hope that the new classes would be attainable at lvl 10, just like what we had, and thus learned the same way the others have. But, they're only available to people, now, who have progressed completely through the story and gotten to Ishgard. Are all these people competent? I see a lot of people getting kicked now.
If you gave new/returning folks a little playground in which to test flying, and the new stuff, a place we could ALL use just to enjoy a taste of the new stuff, what's wrong with that? It would give people incentive to "Git Gud" enough to learn the new/updated fundamentals, and still feel like they weren't being gated from so much.
Throw your casuals a bone, man. If you wanna keep 'em in the shallow end, put a few dragons and griffins and dark knight tutorials in there, and keep them HAPPY to be there, having fun, getting their money's worth, until they are ready to seize the BIG rewards, finish leveling, and fly "For Real" In ishgard, later.
PS: Party Finder sure as heck ain't no cure for bad players, either.
