I'm sensing an air of entitlement from some of the Legacy Players. I'm not a 1.0 player, but this entire process does sound incredibly confusing, and convoluted.

That being said, I've never purchased FFXIV 1.0 - When I bought the Digital CE Version of FFXIV ARR, I was given a code which I used to activate my account and gain early access. I also don't see any indication of having received any of the Collector's Edition Perks, so it isn't just the v1.0 players having an issue with this. I'm having an issue as well. No where on my account do I see that my Collector's Edition status has been applied.
