I have. I would say most do.
A single dedicated channel would be an easy way to get most folks proficient enough to want to continue their learning in the TA.
NO, I learned a long time ago to read the instructions twice and to take advantage of training areas for learning new things. The Offline game works pretty well also.
I truly beleive that if a decitated channel is added to the arena for help, that it will have several effects on the game. One, no one will ever use the training arena again. Two, wrong information will be distributed about the game, because the people answering the questions are wrong.
One good thing about the training arena is the trainers in the arena all know the game. No miss information is being distributed.
A good example:
Last Saturday night, while attacking and trying to capture a field, a question was asked on a squad channel : "does every building in the town have to be down, even the indistructable building?"
One response was "there are no indistructable buildings in a town", the correct answer, but not presented forcefully enough to be considered right.
a second response , very forceful indicated that there were indeed industructable buildings in the town and it didn't have to be down, the wrong answer.
The squad spent 30 minutes and 4 sets of troops before they figured out that all buildings in a town had to be down.
