Problem is, this is so far the only event that has level-gated rewards. I could understand if the entire event was geared around higher-level players, but the gear is level 13.

If they were going to level-gate it, the entire event should have been for level 45+ from the start. As it is, it's obvious that this event was, both times, intended for people who already had a job at or near level 45; the gear was intended for additional classes/jobs, not the first.

As for 'using this weekend to hit 45,' there's no chance. My weekend was far too busy for me to be able to play.

I'm perfectly aware that I probably won't ever have end-game gear because I don't have the time to devote to constant dungeon running to get it. I completely understand that. This, however, was a special event. Those should be 100% all-inclusive, imho.
