why not just say what the illness is?

This isn't remotely accurate. More accurate:

Doctor: Well, you're terminally ill.
Secret Reeve: whats wrong with me?
Doctor: Let me tell you in detail what's wrong with you. [explains what's wrong] Now let me tell you how I'm going to cure it. [explains in detail using charts and pictures] However, it's going to take 12 months to cure you. Please be patient.
Secret Reeve: i didn't hear anything you said except "12 months." i demand that you cure me now!
Person Standing Nearby: He can't cure you now. It will take time. Please be patient.
Secret Reeve: Why won't you explain to me what's wrong?
Person Standing Nearby: The doctor just explained it to you.
Secret Reeve: i demand that you explain it over and over again until i understand! noooooowwwww!

I am pretty sure we arent waiting a year from now without more content.

You are saying a year from now starting now. What bout content in between? by the time they release 1.2? there will be content. So really we are only waiting a couple months here and there for content. Waiting for 2.0 officially is 1 year

I like how the OP assumes everyone who comments on 2.0 doesn't know that it won't come out for 12 months, when it appears the OP may be the only one playing the game who only now realized it.

Also where are the countless posts of people saying "we don't need content, wait until 2.0"?

I've seen people make suggestions, and people respond to them saying "oh that is coming in 2.0". Not really the same thing though.

More like:

Doctor to his peers: This man has serious health problems. Almost every bone in his body is broken, his organs barely function. Without intervention he won't live out the week.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic man. This will be that man. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster.

Yet, it will take time to do something this far reaching.

Secret Reeve: &%^&*%^, why can't you do it NOW! I WANT IT NOW! AAAAAAARRRRRRGH

Doctor: Well we can incrementally make improvements and enhancements to your body to keep you alive and somewhat improve your quality of life, however because the bulk of the work we plan to do requires us to pretty much rebuild you from the ground up, replacing all your internal organs we...

Secret Reeve: SHUT UP TROLL!! YOU DUMB*&^ *crawls out of operating room, bleeding profusely from his wounds*

Worst episode of The Six Million Dollar Man ever.

I'm also a bit worried (though probably havn't researched enough about it) that everything I do before that point is gonna just be pointless.

That aside, what would happen to my account if I really did decided just to not play until I purchase 2.0 for the PS3? Will my character/account be deactivated after a certain amount of time?

I'm not sure what you mean by "pointless," so I can't really comment too much on that. I will say, though, that some of the content offered now will not be available in 2.0. But certainly, things will apparently be quite different after.

As for the last question, they said in the live letter that they're going to preserve all customer data, regardless of whether you pay the subscription fee:

9:18
Q: How much character data will be transferred over to Version 2.0? For example, quest and company history, achievements, etc. Also, will my character data still be preserved even if I haven't been paying subscription?

A: For character data, basically everything: levels, EXP, gil, achievements, quests, and history will be transferred, so don't worry.

However, I'd like to warn you about two things. In the case of quests, those you've just received or completed will be carried over properly. But for the steps in-between, there is a chance that progress will be lost.
The other thing I'd like to mention is the inventory. Inventory space was expanded in 1.19. However, in 2.0 we will be introducing the mannequin system where players can store their equipment, so we are thinking about reverting to the 100-slot inventory in the future. We won't be deleting the items—they'll instead be stored with NPCs, and players will have to retrieve them once Version 2.0 arrives. We'll announce details as they're ironed out, so please don't worry.

With regards to the subscription fee, if you bought the game in the past and played at some point, we feel it is our responsibility to preserve your character data, regardless of whether you're paying a subscription. So please rest assured, it'll still be there in 2.0.

So, while I'd prefer that you continue to play -- Come on! You know you want to! -- your character data won't be wiped if you decide to wait until 2.0.
