Possible level/story jumps....really?

If players find the grind too long then SE should simply cut out some of the quests or make them optional. In my opinion players should never be able to buy levels.

I agree that at this point, a leveling jump doesn't make much sense. They've already bumped quest experience and given multiple leveling methods such that reaching 60 is a couple of weeks of an exercise at worst.

With the expansion coming, I'm all for removing the gates from HW and other content. I think the real draw to the proposed potion (a copy of what the chinese servers of the game have) is skipping into the expansion straight away anyway. Remove the gates and some of the draw to it goes away.

Earlier it was brought up (apologies for not quoting you - the laziness is real) about having something like this as an option for alts. I hate to admit this...but the thought of that doesn't seem quite as terrible to me. The idea that you have to have done content up to point x to unlock it makes it not feel as bad to me.

Initially, I wanted the same. But MrHappy brought up a good point saying it would extremely expensive because they would have to rewrite and potentially re-voice act whole quests just so they make sense. It'd likely reach a point where a good portion of the expansion would be dedicated to fixing old content for new players. Hence what grudgingly had me come around to a jump potion. If it's a choice between that and focusing all their resources on content current players can enjoy versus limiting that due to altering ARR. I'll take the jump potion.

They could lower the exp curve as well, like wow did.

That wouldn't help things. The problem here isn't the levels - it's the slog through the story quest that's required to do ANYTHING in the game. The only thing selling level potions or modifying the experience curve would do is make it so I'm level 60 working through ARR story instead of level 54.
