I don't think Warframe has a steep learning curve. I think it's just very bad at explaining itself. You can copy a build, mash buttons, and be pretty successful. The challenge is in figuring out where to go and what to do, but if you find an explanation it's not that hard.

People mentioned EVE, or for another game with a steep learning curve: Planetside 2. You need honed twich skills to compete in a fire fight. You need intuition about battle flow on multiple levels to figure out where to position. You need to memorize weapon and ability details to know what counters what in a certain battle. And that's just basics.

The difference is how possible it is to know something once it's told to you. New players don't know how important it is to have Aura mods but if I tell them to watch alerts they can do it easily. There's no advice I can give an EVE player in 10 seconds that will relably protect them against ganker attacks. EVE is difficult. Warframe is just inscrutable.
