Do you think the Next Expansion will be Gated Behind HW?

Assuming the expansion will come in late Spring/ Early summer like HW, we still have a good 10 months to go. Only having one more patch in that time would be a killer for a game that lacks content like FFXIV does.

Honestly, I think it would be more important to remove the gate for HW and instead gate 4.0. IMO, that would be the logical step to take. I just leveled an alt at the 2.x-3.0 gate was killing the process so much that I couldn't continue for a long time. All the fetch quests.....

All you're doing is moving one gate to another. People that can grind through the MSQ now have to do all of 3.X to reach 4.0.
