And another one who prays to big brother. Good intentions, yet so far off the mark.
OP ... first you need to understand that educating them isn't the problem. I actually wrote a post about this explaining it easy enough for most to understand. (that wasn't meant as insult)

Can't find it, maybe I haven't posted it yet. Well, it's not needed, tbh
Teaching new players "better" does not help retention rate. Tens of thousands of people manage to learn the game. Those who don't manage that will not manage the game either.
People need tl be smart enough to limit the time frame of their searches ... ... so outdated information is no excuse.
And now the important part:
The goal is to raise retention, nothing else. Everything else, including learning, is secondary. Anyone who finds it too hard to learn or research ... ... will not want to play this game anyway, because it's complex and demands research.
And the big one: Once a new player subs his account, the learning/teaching is already fully covered.
"But Sol! SOL! HOW DO YOU KNOW??? YOU CAN NOT KNOW THIS!!"
99.99% of all players playing this game learnt how to play this game after they subscribed. It's easily observable by looking at the lack of idiots who ask stupid questions about the most basic stuff.
Understanding the game mechanics doesn't make people sub. They have a lot of time for that after the fact. What makes people sub is excitement, adrenaline, curiosity. Adventure.
The 0.01% are dropouts. The low abilitied ones. I love this, I'll keep this term. My name really justifies literally (ha!) every possible fun i have with language. ^_^

And by contrast, improved tech support, better documentation of features, etc., don't do much to attract new players; a game is expected to have whatever tech support and documentation is considered "standard" for the genre, because having less will result in bad reviews and turn people away, but having more than the standard doesn't do much. it's funny how all these studies might help ... ... yet are completely worthless when it comes to EVEs core new player issues.
Not trying to dismiss your post at all. It's more a "theory < reality" thing, where the reality of EVE demands certain measures not possibly covered by theoretical studies of numbers unrelated to the game. I do sometimes wonder if CCP fell into the "professionality-trap" ...

Ah I get it!?
It's not about guides, it's about reach? Like, paying bloggers as advertisers for the game?

I know I'm smart, because I know businesses exist to make money and having you use multiple accounts is a money maker for CCP. I don't mind, so I use multiple accounts. You on the other hand do mind, but you STILL give CCP money even though the structure of the business deal they are offering you offends you. Many many companies exist only because people like you exist, people who are willing to complain but not willing to stop buying. People like that only have themselves to blame for any lack of quality from a business... because you keep paying them to do what you don't like while magically thinking it's going to change. Wise up. Insanity in person.
Not you. Him. :P
