But why stop at Ishgard? Why not just keep people in the 2.0 zones for the sake of looking like they are busy while making the new zones look like ghost towns?

Considering that you return to Ishgard many times in the MSQ, do you want endgame AFKers also taking up space as people doing the MSQ have to suffer from lag too?
