@Cabby I believe it says immediately under that "quest" that it is a placeholder quest and not actually intended for "the tutorial".
Personally, I took that to mean "Alpha caveat - we don't have the content for this part yet, so we're giving you some places to check out while we continue cranking code".... but I can see how it might be mistaken for a final state item.
I went to Heartwood, promptly got my hiney handed to me by a wisp, and forsook my corpse for inability to get it without further death/loss. (Solo player because forcusing on NPE.)
I went to goblins and worked up my knowledge on them and the wolves nearby for that sweet bleed attack. And materials.
Then, back to town for hide armor (Oh yeahhhhh) and then back to the gobbies for small grind fest to afford buying land so I can experience the transition out of NPE (when the Nheedra are available).
For now, I'm actually focusing on trying to break the NPE quests through a variety of 'misuse cases'. So far, remarkably tight.... but there is an issue with dupes that I'm trying to recreate, so eh....
Anyway... I appreciate seeing the perspective of other players and you really did a good job of outlining your view. Great read and thank you for that.
