I think that in the beginning tutorial, newbies should be educated about the importance of range. Range is definitely the most important aspect of the game (that's not dictated by gear). They should have to go through a series of visuals (tests?) that show 12m/10m/8m/4m. It wouldn't be much of an addition, perhaps just add an NPC that says "from here to that ____ is 10m! This is your standard weapon range! Try shooting at that ____ right now!"

This small addition would provide newbies with enhanced game play at the beginning stage through range knowledge, which could help hook players and increase platinum sales, lead to smoother PUG runs, & generally be good for the game.
