I wouldn't expect a response. I've been asking about this since EA started and Leviathan, Gilgamesh, and Moogle have been seemingly perma-locked. They don't seem to be concerned, or even aware that people might want to play with established players. That, or they don't care. I'm personally not expecting this to be rectified by anything of their own doing... there will just be a sudden exodus of frustrated players who realize that this isn't worth their time, and only then when the population sorts itself out due to the lost subscribers will the servers allow stragglers on. It doesn't say much for the longevity of the game. It's of grave importance to ensure that friends and family can play together in a socially driven game like this.
