That's not just what happens on Zelda but everytime you're playing a real game. It's just never like that on Graal.
We are intentionally working with the "lowest common denominator" a little here. We do keep an eye on people when they login and try to do these quests, and if someone can't figure something out, they log off immediately and never come back.

In fact, this sort of stuff never happening on Graal is a really good reason to try and ween people into it rather than expect a lot from the start (since other Graal players are our main playerbase, not experienced gamers). Imo, the first few quests being a little predictable is better than frustrating players.

I agree, and this is how the other quests will be done. We have just decided to keep the primary chain of quests in Graal City linear and haven't developed others yet.
