As a legacy player myself, I do not see a need to change this. Neither I feel that it is an oversight from SE. SE retain our characters' progression mainly not to let our effort spend in 1.0 go down the drain and having to start all over in 2.0. This is an option they gave us. (I rerolled since I feel for RPG it makes more sense to experience from start). Even as a legacy player with all level 50 jobs would still need to through the entire story again. Not like because you are 50 and you can skip everything. The only difference is the first 15 level and once that is done, the story basically merge regardless of starting city. The original Eorzea is "supposingly" gone already. And this is another Realm. The story is totally different from 1.0. The matter of fact is our character should not actually exist anymore. We are just some new adventurer entering this new realm despite playing on the original legacy character. But as always, there is no way you can please everyone with anything
