At this point in the games life they are aiming to please the people who have subscribed the longest. That being said I see your point, if your not up to that content then by all means Walt on buying it. But for everyone else zip it, it's fine the way it is.

Why do you guys have that mentality?
It's already hard to make people play an MMO and stick to it nowadays, why make the first step harder? I don't want FF14 to go F2P, I want it full of people, the more the merrier.

I would've been really mad if I couldn't play Astro right away. It's one class that I wanted to play in an MMO, the other is Dancer, I would be very discouraged if I had to play a class that I don't want, just to get to a point, MANY DAYS later, where I could actually start playing with the class I wanted.

As soon as Astro got announced, I stopped playing FF14, just waiting for the expansion. There was no use for me to continue to gear up my bard if I was gonna drop it. I can only imagine what it might feel like to have to select a class you don't wanna play just to get to the one you actually want, it must kill all your hype.

The first step is not any harder than when you started the game. Its quite the opposite, they are doing what it takes to make long term players and they dont want players who want to jump on the next expansion hype. You know as well as everyone else they have to play other classes to play the new ones effectively anyway. I think everyone needs to look at the big picture.

And as it seems other people here see it the same way as me, now I'm not saying open up all of the game before the story is finished, the end story of ver 2 is great and some of the best work squares done in along time IMO, but players should be able to talk about what the see as problems, which is what I did and others have too, keep in mind I played ff11 and loved the story but the game was a pain in the but to get anything done if you weren't a pld or whm. In the end their is still people who play who think the job lock is a bad idea, is their opinion any less than yours? I do want to thank you for speaking your views too, like I said you make some very valid points.
