This is a bit of a falsehood. There is no question as to the extent of the data transfer when it comes to 2.0 it will be a complete transfer. The only thing in question is the over all size of our inventory. And even then there will be measures put in place so that we do not loose anything.

by the time 2.0 launches the xiv will have been going for over two years at that point. Any one coming into a established server at that point and expecting to be on anything resembling a even footing to a established player is delusional at best.

If you were suggesting the creation of new post 2.0 servers so people could start on a even playing field free of the relics and odditys of the old economy and game play. Then i think you might garner some support. How ever suggesting that every one's time and effort be put to the flame to make you feel better about things being "Fair" is definitely not going to win you any friends.
