And square could have given me the best of both worlds. Letting me play the new content and play with my friends.

With that said. I simply did not enjoy being forced to play it. I have no issue being behind my friend's in level or content. I spent a year at level 48 in 2.0 while my friends were raiding. I enjoyed other aspects of the game at the time. And had no interest in the Raid or end game content at the time.

Now square has essentially punished me for taking my time with the story.

I am currently Max level and raiding in A1-4. Just so you don't think I am still 48 and complaining about all these quests I have finished most of the things in 3.0 I want to finish. I simply would have preferred the gating not have been there. To allow me more freedom in how I wanted to play the game.
