New Job Sadness

You know sometimes i think some people won't be happy unless every single peice of content is all up for grabs from the very start of the game. No working or actually playing the game, just give me all of it, asap.

No wait, people won't be happy because then we'll get complaints that it's to easy to access. I don't think this situation is winnable.

Duuuude (or Baaaabe if you want), it's not that we're asking for them to give everything to us immediately right now.
But at least we should get something the moment we buy Heavensward, and don't let all that hype go away upon realization of this great wall of restrictions you have to go through to even get a glimpse of the expansion.

As I mentioned in another thread... at the moment, I have zero incentives in buying Heavensward if I haven't finished all the Main Story. That is quite very contrary to all the commercials and hype they put out with the release of Heavensward, which actually turns out to be aimed *only* for existing players who has already played considerable amount of time through the game.

Please don't get me wrong. I don't want to be spoonfed with all the good stuff immediately. I love myself a good challenge, but there's a line between challenge and tedious chore. I play the story quests *for* the story, I do PvPs for Wolf Marks (and some tomestones), I do FATEs to level up. But now, I need to do the story in order to continue doing better stuff that I want.
Why did they decide to lock everything behind that 2.55 quest? Those who somehow neglected to keep up with the story (perhaps because they're busy IRL or doing other content the game has to offer... which is my reason apparently) get severely disadvantaged and somehow get left out with the release of the expansion.
