...did WoW expansions require progression on every character to access new areas like the current system in FFXIV? Or was that progression unlocked account-wide as long as one character existed that could get to a new area?
I can and DO understand the gripes about having to chug through the story again for alts. There's a reason mine are below level 10 for the most part. One of the consequences of FFXIV being designed as a "your one character can do everything!" game is that it's extremely alt-unfriendly. SE looks to hopefully be changing that at least starting from now.
Off-topic side-note: We also haven't even gotten 3.1 yet. Let's uh...try to hold off potential anger at 4.0 which is probably 2+ years away?
Content in WoW was not typically gated, no. You had to be 58 to zone in to BC content but you could just have a warlock friend summon you if you really wanted.
When they redid the old world in Cataclysm all the side quests required you to progress linearly to unlock new quests in that zone but you could just go to a different zone instead and do quests there.
