Possible level/story jumps....really?

PLEASE DO NOT PUT IN JUMP POTIONS, WORLD OF WARCRAFT IS DYING FOR A REASON. Do not skip players to the end game content please jesus.... This is the worst idea FFXIV has had literally ever.

WoW is doing so bad these days that Blizzard have stopped releasing player numbers into the public domain to keep it quiet. FF14 should not be following in WoW's footsteps, not on this issue about P2W style level skip potions or many others including WoW's F2P status. When it was doing well they were more than happy to brag about it's numbers, these days because it is not they try to hide it and no longer publish them.

I played it for 4 years.

Right, so not long enough to understand why leveling potions were needed for that game, but just enough to have an opinion and a knee jerk reaction. They were needed there, not necessarily needed here (yet).

Level skip potions did not solve WoW's problems, it added to them. You imply 4 years is not enough time to have a valid opinion on this so let me ask you what arbitrary number do you think is enough and how long did you play it for? Adding such a feature to this game will do more harm than good, just because there will always be a few people who want shortcuts to fulfill their desire for instant gratification does not mean they should always get them and in this case regarding level skip potions they should not. As shown by how much opposition there is to this in here, SE should take note and not head down that path.

As I explained in an above post: The level skip potions were implemented after vanilla+4 expansions, 90 levels, and around 10+ years of being an mmo. During that time people had leveled up many, many characters through that same content a ton of times. So much so, that for Blizzard to introduce a new class they had to give people a way to skip that content for the umpteenth time so they could quickly get to the new content on a new class - a better, fresher experience to keep them playing and paying. It was one of their better decisions for WoD actually. And by the time you played 90-100 to get to end game you had learned all your abilities anyways.
