I didn't mean it as an offense or insult, just saying you shouldn't lag too far behind in expansions if you are serious about playing, even though a year or so is a pretty long time to pick it up so you should be fine.
However, you should realize, as time passes by and newer expansions are released companies that make MMORPG assume most of the people already have the old expansion, for example for the EU it came with FFXI, like zilart came with ours. So more and more of their additions are based on the expansion, so that eventually if you don't have it most updates/patches will have little to do with you. Though it's not a sure thing, these ENM battles seem to be an early example, and often it's done on purpose. It's a subtle way for S-E to get more people to buy their expansion, without a public outcry like if they had said "You won't be able to play FFXI anymore if you don't have CoP." ^^
