Still would love to get an official and definitive dev response on this once and for all, not some random 3rd party site interview correction - is just the main story gated or is the ENTIRE expansion gated behind 2.55/50?

You guys really did great with the 1.0-2.0, you humbly took responsibility for it, but now are about to make another mistake here without listening to the community. Gating the ENTIRE expansion, save Au'ra, behind all content up to 2.55 is just downright silly. The main story makes perfect sense to be gated, but nothing else does.

Mostly I'm concerned it's misleading. New folks will buy the bundle and find out they have access to NONE of Heavensward, except the race, despite dropping $40 for it. It's sleazy and kinda feels like you guys are trying to pad your sales/pre-order numbers by not being honest and up front about it; anyone who doesn't spend a lot of time on the forums/news sites will be unaware.

There is still time, please consider adjusting this.
