    To all those surprised by Square's move in requiring registration for each version... this isn't XI. Nothing is account-wide unless otherwise stated. This is how it's been since the 2.0 Beta. It shouldn't even be a surprise now with it being 2 years since 2.0's launch proper.

    Yes the level cap increase was added in the expansion not a patch so no expansion equals no experience after 50. Also as stated the expansion is system based not account based.

    This is the only modern game that does this btw.

    Imagine what would happen if say, wow started making you buy a separate copy for both Windows and Mac if you wanted to play on both(have to here, so its not just consoles).

    It's stupid and no more than a money grab.

    If I want to play Hearthstone on my phone, everything I bought for it on my pc is already on it. Telling people content is connected to device and not account would piss them off.

    Also, op, if you try to log in a character in HW areas on your ps3 it'll give you an error. Because of their stupid money grab system.

    You using hearthstone as a example really? That a free to play game to start with on top of being a pay to win game if you want to talk about money grabs.

    Only modern game that does it too. Just because it's "always been this way" doesn't mean it's good.

    ESO is separate by platform.... ENTIRELY. Console and pc accounts are completely separate and don't even play together.

    The thought that Sony and/or Valve might have something to do with it didn't cross your mind by any chance? You can at least play the new jobs on a non-expansion platform, as long as you have them unlocked.

    And saying how this is the only modern game doing this is kinda pointless, how many modern MMOs are cross-platform?

    and to gather the mats and stuff for said scrips, you have to go to heavensward areas....

    You can't even get the gatherer items since you can't go to heavensward areas at all. and for crafters you would have to buy them, so no.

    I have seen tons of mats sell that I have gathered in the heavensward areas, heck I've even bought some to make my last 2 crafting trade items.

    My point was that you can't access the scrip stuff without having the expansion so that complaint doesnt make sense.

    I mean, by that logic, the entrance to Ishgard is in a 2.0 area, so you shouldn't have to get the expansion to access it.
