A lot of the people complaining about gating right now are only on the band wagon anyway. Just like at 2.0 launch they'll play for 2-3 months then move on to the next new thing. Why pander to these people who aren't going to be paying more than $100 while the rest of us will pay for years to come? It's an annoying reality to the MMO world and isn't going to change any time soon.
