Staggering Alexander Unlocks After Launch

For what purpose? No one is forcing you to rush to the content just like no one forced you to rush to The Binding Coil of Bahamut on launch of 2.0. If there is someone forcing you and you don't want to, perhaps it's time to rethink your priorities.

The purpose is to give everyone even grounds, otherwise people who can nolife to 60 on day one have advantage over everybody else.

Though fairness is a factor, I'm curious not because I feel like I'll personally be at an advantage or disadvantage. I'd just rather have the liberty to approach the new content at leisure without having to worry about Alexander immediately, and I'm sure there are others who feel similarly.

Not true, people in statics would be forced to steamroll through content to be world first. By adding in a 2 week wait period everyone can enjoy the content at a steady pace and not feel forced to complete it as fast as possible to do endgame.

How can you be forced to do what you dont want to do...in a game? If you dont want to steamroll the new content, then dont. The choice is yours

It's called peer pressure. If your the only one in your static that wants to enjoy all the content added and take your time watching all cut scenes and reading all dialogue then odds are you will be replaced in your static. Yoshi gave his resoning and everyones ignoring it to say its so nobody gets a head start. He did it to prevent peer pressure from making players skip as much as possible. They didnt work hard on this expansion so people can skip everything in a rush to get to Alexander. He wants people to actually watch the cut scenes and pay attention to the story. The outrage over waiting 2 weeks for Alexander seems a bit much considering everything else there will be to do in those 2 weeks.
