Please help me understand why i should continue to play a repeat of 2.0?

Perhaps you forget, FFXI do not give you the story mission is one package. They are piece meals spread out in the course over 2 years, or 4 years in the case of Wings of the Goddess...

I was talking specifically about CoP if u read my replies to u but I'm fully aware of WotG storyline and how long it took SE to finally finish developing the story but they never planned it to be like that just ask yourself "Did they really plan it out like that when first developing WotG to finally finish it after 4yrs?" no that is kinda obvious in other words an anomaly, stories:

Nation missions (full stories)
Zilart (full story)
CoP (full story)
ToAU (full story)
WotG (not finished)
SoA (full story)

There is 1 odd expansion, SE decided it was better to drag out the storylines to keep players from unsubbing as the game wud start lose players, WotG is basically an anomaly.

You are complaining about 3.0, which is SOLIDLY well done full fledge experience of a game, easily has the SAME comparable amount of contents with 2.0 AT LAUNCH time. We don't have 15 dungeons at launch, these will be coming in waves of patches, which usually has plenty of contents for everyone.

This comment makes no sense... How is 3.0 a fully fledged experience of a game when it's not even finished? that's the whole point of them doing patches, only after they have released all the patches then it is a fully fledged expansion.

Also comparing 3.0 launch to the launch of 2.0 isn't the same thing 1-50 vs 50-60 theres a huge difference with the amount of content they had they did not need to add alot of endgame at the re-launch of the game.

I also don't want 15 dungeons at launch your assuming too things many things... having a new low lv dungeon would of been great tho or having a couple of extra expert dungeons would of made doing expert roulette alot more varied and fun but what I would of liked to of seen at launch is some new content that is different and creative (as I stated in my other replies) that hasn't been in 2.0 where I can say HW is offering something which is refreshing but we have not got that.

This game has GINORMOUS amount of content, no normal SANE person can blow through ALL of the content in one week. I am talking about enjoying ALL aspects of the game, NOT: I just leveled one job to 60 by rushing and skipping all optional side quest and everything else. For normal people with 3-4 hours game time, who probably play 4-5 days a week (which is most of the players here) - Heavenward is massive. It's also great to know, you DO NOT need to play 7-10 hours a day every single day, and can just log in on three days weekend binge of 6 hours a day to finish a lot of things.

There isn't "Ginormous" amount of content in Heavensward stop lying to yourself that is why they are releasing it patches and not all at launch... if they had released 50% of the content at launch I would agree with you but they haven't they have only released 10% and kept the other aspects for future patches dragging out the FULLY FLEDGED EXPERIENCE that you have been saying.

If they made some of the content actually challenging and not winning/completing everything in your 1st or 2nd go then it would of prolonged the content as it stands all the content in HW so far has been far too easy.

I have enjoyed the expansion for what it is and I have done all the optional sidequests, I read every text in the story, I also have PLD60 NIN58 AST55 and have been playing Triple Triad alot while waiting for other FC members to do stuff with.

Snip...Lots of rose tinted nostalgia playing FFX(

I clearly stated the bad and good things of FFXI and gave reasons why each aspect in detail yet you seemed to ignored everything I said and u stating "nostalgia" this word is overly used in negative ways by people who have nothing better to say so plz stop using it because you have no clue what you are talking about.
