Gating the whole expansion

[AzraelX]

Don't be so mean guys.

A good chunk of the population are just mmo players, not extreme die hard ff fans. Gating an entire expansion with jobs and such behind hours upon hours of useless dribble and fetch quests is a bit extreme. It's not common with MMOs.

to be fair SE went to great lengths to help new players- double exp, faster ques, more items, only one type of tome to collect.
also if this was a regualr mmo - it is still an expac that would require completion of 2.0 or would u rather them charge a fee to fast word people to level 50/ishgard
