To all you saying you didn't know that sufficient progress means doing all of 2.5....really ?

That's your argument ?

They needed to clarify what that meant ?

A game that is heavy on lore and story wasn't hint that you might need to finish all of it to do 3.0 content ?

The war in Ishgard and their constant xenophobia during 2.0 might not have been a hint that they weren't going to let you in before you proved yourself to them ?
