You clearly haven't been following the progress of the game and read interviews with yoshida. The current game is in no way trying to attract new players, it is appeasing its current base. They don't want new people joining now and losing interest in 2.0 before it launches. I don't have the quote, but yoshida has flat out said that he is putting the current population as their first priority in terms of 1.0.

I know I don't want my experience with the end of 1.0 tarnished because of some people didn't care enough to stick with the game. Coming to party late shouldn't get you any special consideration.
