I thought it was pretty straightforward myself.

Did you read the tutorial walkthrough?

I disagree. What do you think is hard? Was it hard to read the dialogue? Was it hard to answer with "yes" and "ready" all the time? Was it hard to give/take some items here and there?

Even if you did experience it as very hard, so what? It does imply you learned and will have less difficulties in-game :)

By the way, welcome to PlaneShift.  ;)

I'm not sure if I am lucky, if it is just a fluke, or if it is the tutorial, but I have met some new people that are good RPers.  Anyways, it could be the tutorial and that prevents people like I was from entering the game, not prepared to roleplay, which I do much better, now.  The tutorial is no more difficult than the quests will be.  Long, maybe, but easy.

Hmmm. I made it through the tutorial in less than fifteen minutes the first time I went through. The only reason it took so long is I was trying to break the quests. Note that I had never actually done any quests or crafted anything.

I think there is a big difference between a long-time player doing the tutorial and a brand new one. I did not have much trouble with it, it took maybe 1/2 hour but I was already familiar with the interface and the particular quirks of implementation. Those are the kinds of things that are real barriers.

How many times do I still run off and open a bunch of unwanted windows because right-click->talk icon did not put the cursor in the chat window and I start typing. It is true that there is the walk-through but it is sort of like learning to surf in the ocean by watching The Endless Summer. You kind of get the idea but you still have to actually do it. I really think that anyone saying it is easy should try to remember that there are many things about this game that are counter-intuitive and need to be learnt. Just because it is second nature to you now doesn't mean it is that natural for others.
