Limit Breaks were always a stupid idea. Leveling IS the gate to content. Gating the gate is just absurd.

It will likely be a very, very long time before JP/Gifts are necessary to complete content as people have completed level 143 content at level 119 without Gifts. And as such people should have progressed by that time to having JPs and Gifts in whatever jobs they play the most.
On what do you base this assumption? You have no idea what SE's plans are, and even if you did they seem to change from day to day.

You might argue "what about new people?" people had to level to 75 at 75 cap before they could do end-game, no difference. Do the gated requirement or don't expect to be able to do all content. This isn't a pay to play game. Earn your accomplishments and access to end game.
You're making this into an either/or scenario. You seem to think that if the rate of CP is pushed upwards in any way shape or form that it's akin to having all categories maxed out for free. Have you forgotten how the rate of XP has been increased over the years while the XP needed per level has been lowered? Are you going to say that someone who leveled to 75 and merited during ToAU didn't "earn it" while someone who did so during Zilart/COP did? Are you going to say that people who used FOV/GOV or Campaign to XP didn't "earn it?" Did YOU use any of these methods? Did YOU benefit from XP rate increases, XP requirement reductions, new camps, etc.? I guarantee you did, so I guess that means you haven't "earned it" any more than anyone else has.
