Any RTS.
Ive never seen an RTS which taught you when to build which unit, what all the hard/soft counters were, what the best tech strategy or build orders were. They taught you how to play the game, but how to play the game well was left in your hands.
I could go on.
There are few games that teach you much beyond keybindings and "How to play", and none which teach you every last little trick about "How to play well".

Are you serious??? Pretty much EVERY FPS game has some sort of Solo mode that "teaches" players as you progress through the missions. I have yet to see an FPS game where mission 1 was as difficult as mission 25. Typically these games start you off with a restricted pool of weapons that you slowly learn to use situationally. Not to mention that FPS is about as far from MMO as possible. FPS games are typically VERY quick to pick up and generally everyone has the same start point... after that it's a matter of skill. That's why FPS are great for competitive gaming and MMO's are terrible.
RTS games are much the same... 20-30 solo missions where you usually start off with minimal access to advanced technology. The solo missions ARE THE TUTORIAL! Even moreso, this completely destroys so many complaints that everyone here has had about how you can't make the game "teach" people. The fact you can build it directly into the game has been done over and over again.
We aren't looking to teach people max dps cycles or anything beyond the basics needed to raid. This is what people keep glossing over. There is a HUGE difference from 5 man's to 10 or 25's... while you can limp through a 5 man, it's just not possible to learn so many aspects of this game without information from outside the game.
