And yes of course it is being split like that, it's the home stretch now into the new year for 3.0, so they're more than likely trying to space everything out to make sure people are entertained long enough until Heavensward is released. And it's very possible that the patch is that big as well that it's getting split up. There are a lot of loose ends needing to be tied up to finish out the entire 2.0 storyline as well as Crystal Towers storyline.
