Not sure if they really did it or not but they said they would be to help facilitate players getting to Heavensward. If that's the case and if you're really halfway through 2.0 story, you should be able to finish it in a few weeks if you only play a little bit each day. Even if you had access to the new areas right now, you'd get slaughtered in i53 gear anyway.

I don't mean to be rude, but MMOs don't generally target people who play *that* casually... I don't really know how you have spent your time playing the last couple of years, but I have two alts further along than that despite hardly playing them. :/
