I'm even farther behind than you and not really worried. I've done none of the 2.1 or 2.2 stuff at all.

It was more of a problem in FFXI honestly, because there was no duty finder,
Yet having the duty finder means that while you'll never be unable to do the content, you won't as well be able to do it on your server.

It's a double edged sword.
Still, i'm glad to have it.

Just enjoy the adventure.
