Considering the fact we now know we'll have the option to go into low level content uncapped if we go in a unfilled party, anyone worried about their "new" friends can just go as a lv60 blm and curb stomp the entire lowbie dungeon circuit. Also those dungeons are going to be crawling with people leveling the three new jobs, so it isn't like they are going to be waiting long if they are just doing it the old fashioned way.

Let's be real, the majority doesn't care about new people they don't personally know, cause you scream at them like they murdered your dog if they don't hit cancel fast enough for the dungeon cutscenes. What this is really about is people with alts for whatever reason now have to do the story 2-8 times so they can get their craft, gather, or desynth mules into the new land of milk and honey. So yeah this gate won't hold rmt and player bots out forever, but damn it's going to be sweet for at least a month before they worm their way in.
