Im failing to understand the "new player" problem or the gear requirement is.
To me HW is a DLC basically or if you want to be old school, Â a locked part of the map. You want to get there? You have to be geared and up to date. It's been said all it takes is two monsters to kill a PC in Ishgard areas. Why would anyone want to go there in under level 50 or with sufficient gear? Thats basically asking to be one shotted and constantly have to return whenever you step outside a safe zone. I honestly see no issue with the gating of the content. Because outside of a rp standpoint why would any new person or such even think about stepping into a level 60 area? SE is using common sense. Same with the gated jobs. Theres like 12 other jobs that go 1 - 50 + 10 more to 60, if everyone before you came had to have at least ONE 1 - 50 grind , why should the new people get to go from 30 - 60? They didn't earn it and they have to start from the bottom like everyone else.
And ques shouldn't be a issue since HW is a 50-60 area the new jobs will be leveling in pre 3.0 areas. So past level 30 new people are bound to be able to quickly get into content. That coupled with the large mass of new and returning players starting from below 30 in classes even then they should all be getting into ques.
No offense to anyone here and this is more a broad statement than a personal view on a single person so apologies if you want to punch me after this. But it seems like a lot of people are just looking for shit to whine and complain about whenever something new is shown that isn't 100% babying their personal wants and needs.
Ok im done ranting. Sorry.
