WoW gated content and they didn't seem to have the problem. Heck, TBC was probably one of the most gatey (besides vanilla) and was where their playerbase grew them most. Then they gated a job in the expansion after. FFXI also gates jobs and didn't run into problems.

This isn't a new thing.
See you see it as Death Knight I see it more if they required you to finish Molten core or some other content to go through the gate to be able to start a Blood Elf. The dark portal might have had a level requirement but it couldn't have been very high since you couldn't start any quests before going through. Memory is vague but wasn't the quest just click a few NPC's?

Any Gate in WoW was 100% soloable there was no dungeon you couldn't do yourself just raids and the top level dungeons. Which were possible after the cap was raised and you could grind and do the content. Within the current system gates that affect new players will force them to make old players do that stuff over. That is the point.

If the new classes start at 50. I will personally PM you and apologize for thinking you aren't seeing the big picture and being an apologist.
