I mean, I think I put a pretty reasonable amount of effort in.
If the game doesn't want to show me how it actually plays, and thinks I need to learn how to open and close windows or set quest markers before I even know how to control my character, I don't think that's my fault for not wanting to carry on.
The thing that invests people in these games is ownership and identity surrounding their character.
I'm not sure why that wouldn't be the first thing you show someone "hey, I know you just spent 15 minutes creating your perfect character, so let me show you how cool they are and what they can do!"
I played Tera a few years ago and I was fighting gooseberry fool within like 10 minutes.
