New Jobs Gated Behind Completion of 2.0 Story?

You seem to be stuck on this, so tell me, what are some good examples of gameplay they cannot party with you on?

Since you have repeatedly distinguished 'story' from 'gameplay', please don't include "seeing person in cutscenes" as part of your examples.

Content that matters, high end content.

Fun Dungeons?

Hard Dungeons?

Loot?

End-Game Gameplay?

Getting your characters appearance gear? Appearance?

Glamour?

Here is what I care about:

Replayability>Appearance>Gameplay>Content>Roleplay>Grinding>Story>Leveling

In that order.

So you want them to be given max level as soon as they join? You want to eliminate the MSQs when the game is specifically story driven? All MMOs have quests such as these in them, but this one just has a deeper story behind why you're doing it. Skip cutscenes if you don't care, that speeds it up, or go play another game that doesn't focus on story.
