Mostly because it is one of the few I can't/don't avoid triggering but almost always refuse to complete.

I agree that most of this stuff is probably already in game, but tying it together and making it fast enough that even someone who has never played a mud before (but successfully navigated the academy) can get into the action ~11 or 15 in a reasonable amount of time seems like a good start to me. It doesn't really compress the skill gap significantly, but it could boost the new player (and not so new player) up that curve a bit without them sacrificing too much of the learn as you go stuff.
