On topic: I guess my main concern would be the queue times of some instanced content in the MSQ. There's even some guildhests in there. And what if most existing players migrate to Ishgard, leaving many old zones empty. New player experience is important. If they have a hard time getting help for Westwind, guildhests, etc, will they stick with the game up to the expansion areas? So I think there's a legit point in there somewhere.

Maybe they will add some new worlds/servers for 3.0 and direct new players to start there.
Heavensward is going to attract new players as well as old players who are returning. We'll have 3 new jobs to level and the current 10 that need to get to 60. If SE plays their cards right, what they will do is ensure that people can queue up the "2.0" main story roulette and maybe a "2.5 roulette" so that players can gain XP from the roulette and the dungeons/trials to level to 60. This should help significantly in the queue times for older content.
