I would wager most people counted on story/gameplay segregation there :P
It's not like going into the same dungeon and fighting the exact same people for the umpteenth time and getting the exact same amount of allagan tomestones as reward makes any sense. Or keeping 23 sets of armor and weapons on your person. Or us being able to die anytime and just lolreturn to our home aetheryte in the game but not in actual cutscenes. Or having our mounts come to us instantly wherever we might be as if they'd be stalking us day in day out. Or having chests magically appear upon beating a boss. Or...you know what I mean :O
