1. If a game exits, theres usually a way to powerlevel in it. if powerlevelling exists, it always will in one form or another. So come 2.0 when a whole bunch of new players join the game, they can either level legitematly (which doesnt even take that long anymore) or they too can get powerlevellied.

2. A games economy is subject to the rarity of sellable items and the amount said item is used. Come 2.0 i'm sure there will be other items that will sell for stupid amounts of gil and be able to be obtained by practically anyone who puts time in. For example right now the best gear in the game is still melded gear, so lets say in 2.0 you theres new gear sets, like Adamantine Armor. This is likely to require Adamantine ores ingots etc and therefor opens a whole new market for any minor and or crafter.

3. Gear constantly rotates. Usually new gear is better or equal to its pre-existing counterparts. Yes people may complain that they cant get an ifrits harpoon, or a morbid mog blade. but lets face it, the AF weapons are likely to be better than it. We have o idea what exactly we need to do to get them yet but even so. As stated above Melded gear is still the better gear so I would venture a guess at saying a double or triple melded Champion lance or hart guisarme would be better than Ifrits harpoon. yes double and triple melds are tougher to to make but fact is thier becoming increasingly more available.

4. You say people with underdeveloped gear wont be able to get better gear due to everyone already having everything. We have already seen SE re-use the instanced dungeons as a method of obtining company seals and at that point the players who had all thier dungeon gear were going for the gear for seals, but others could get thier gear and use it if they so wished.

6. Finally game exploits, yes they exist, yes people abuse them. SE quite frankly has more important things to do than ban everyone who exploited garuda right now. Thoe people who did exploit garuda have a strat that no longer works now anyway so although some people have all the weapons the majority still dont. SE is probably more concerned with making 2.0 a success, maybe in 2.0 they will start banning people who exploit the games glitches. From a development point of view getting thier game running properly vastly outweighs a few people having all the garuda weapons.

I think Azury your going to be one of those people who is never satisfied, fact is most players are happy wth the game and those that see issues post constructive criticisms on the forums. You however always see a negative in everything so youll never be happy.
yes... most players are happy with this game... that's exactly why they merged the servers. So that more people could enjoy the game together!
