Poll : Should FF14 allow purchasable “leveling potion” ? Please vote!

[Furiea]

STOP THIS P2W DIRECTION THIS MOMENT RIGHT NOW !
P2W coming in 4.0... time to cancel that subscription.. before ff14 is flooded with noobs.

leveling is already fast with DR and MSQ... if you want all jobs @ lv60.. then level them like everyone else.
if anything... increase the bonus exp per max lvl job you have.
1 lvl60 = 50%
2 lvl60 = 100%
3 lvl60 = 150%
4 lvl60 = 200%

DoH and DoL also getting the same P2W option?

I personally prefer the requirement to having completed the MSQ be removed. Allow a new character to be able to start Heavensward's content once they hit level 50. They can purchase gear with adequate ilvl from vendors in Ishgard so that their ilvl isn't horribly low.

I have 2 alts that I am progressing through the game. My Roegadyn was level 54 by the time I had finished Steps of Faith and was able to start doing the Heavensward expansion. And that's just doing the quests for MSQ and not the side stuff (Crystal Tower, Extreme Primals, Coil of Bahamut).

The thing is that Yoshi is concidering this BECAUSE people are complaining there are alot of class quests!!!

People!! Understand that what we veterans went through was already alot, too many patches to keep the story fresh and interesting, why would you want to skip everything that we already went through? Do you even care for the wonderfull story that they gave us in ARR and Heavensward? Do you even care about the hardwork of everyone at SE that created this wonderfull game?

Stop asking for less MSQ and faster leveling and Yoshi won't even think about Potions of leveling or whatever its called!! We dont want to turn this into WoW

Voted for leaving it alone. It's really not that hard, coming from an old FFXI player who also saw powerleveling get extremely abused (Abyssea). Also, my first tank job I decided to do was DRK. Started at 30 of course. I had no idea what I was doing and it was horrible for everyone. Didn't read through the entire thread but let's not forget that the way MMO's make their money is by having a time investment on the player's part. Cut that part out and the player runs out of things to do and unsubs. Terrible business decision.

Whatever they decide, whether it's a jump to 50/60 with a tutorial or shaving off some of the slog from the MSQ, it's fine with me. All this complaining from the userbase over something that has nothing to do with them is pointless. So many people I know gave up on the game because of how long it would take them to get to Ishgard. If you're worried about bads filling your endgame PF, it really wouldn't be any different from how it is now. New players keep the game alive, and you want to block them from getting to where we are at a faster pace? How entitled.

Are you seriously sitting here calling people entitled who put in time and effort to get where they are, while at the same time advocating for new people to buy their way to the same spot as those of us that did the work?

Well, I told my friends it would take them long to get to Ishgard, but I told them it was well worth it. They are close to hitting 60 and arriving at the aetherochemical facility, and couldn't be happier They loved each second of the MSQ, and one of them hated jRPGs. And I just got a new one hooked

ARR isn't that long, but they could remove a lot of quests from pre-HW MSQ. I'm sure removing the pointless fetch quests will shave off a lot of time.

Edited down due to character limit

I've had friends that unsubscribe from this game because they had to do the post-50 content up to, and including, Final Steps of Faith just to be able to start on Heavensward. Simply because they couldn't access Heavensward content as soon as they reached level 50 was so frustrating to them that they quit. So I can understand removing that requirement.

Not remove then entirely, more like remove their requirement to be able to progress.

There is a difference between reducing the time it takes to get to current content which I have no problem with and just handing it out to new players without putting any effort into it.

If i may.... you are saying that if they implement this, is better for them to get into it... okay... So how about the hours that everyone spent on this game at the start when ARR launched? Do you realy want to make everyone that spent their time and money on this game feel like it was for waste because they are shortning it? It would make it wortless for me

They got like that because they have no patience and no respect for the ones that made this game. They couldnt acess but they have a boost in exp that we didnt had because of all the story quests!
