Gating the whole expansion

[Sin_Nombre]

I for one am glad they did it this way. At the least, it helps even out the load and spread the population during launch time. At the best, it helps make this game a final fantasy game, and not generic MMO X.

I also realized this after buying the xpac. Just completing the 2.0 main story was torture. After that, I got as far as unlocking the Moogle King fight and called it quits. The MSQ in this game is just painful from start to finish. All I do in this game is fish/craft/gather and now I'm punished for having a noncombat play style.

Gear is easy to get once unlock certain dungeons. They even lowered the item level restrictions on the the first few level 50 dungeons so you can spam them for quick gear. The best was is through tomes and the three towers. Before the xpac I helped some casual people from my fc by making what level 70 gear I could. If you\\'re on faerie server. I would be glad to help.
