Tutorial
They tested these changes over a year, along with a bunch of other changes. It’s nice to theorize, but I’m pretty sure Anet got the idea right, if not the exact details.
I don’t think that this is going to change now, because I don’t think anything we can say will be more conclusive than extensive testing.
In spite of (or maybe because of) what they did in Factions and Nightfall Anet apparently really dislike tutorials and prefer players to get straight into the game and learn as they go along.

From the sounds of it the idea is not working right and testing was pretty much a failure from all the bugs found so far Vayne.
