It's a 30 minute tutorial which goes over two new and important campaign features and one important item. All your arguements as to why 'an experienced player' wouldn't need to go through it at least once are baseless, and even if, the 30 minute tutorial is an easy thing for anyone that has played before.
If you /want/ the hard start, just start a new game after saving the tutorial character. If you're moving installs, you should know that the game looks for a save before unlocking the non-tutorial start.
If the tutorial were three hours of the experience and glitchy to progress through, i could understand the issues but as it stands? There is no reason to whine and moan.
