If ppl were able to skip do you think the quality of the DF would improve, stay the same, or become worse?

Initially, it would probably be a cluster fuck because even all of us won't necessarily have a grasp on all the new content added in Stormblood. Within a month or so, however, things will even out. People genuinely interested in the game will ask other players questions or happily take advice if they mess up. Those who don't will eventually move on to the next "hyped" game when they inevitably find groups kicking them or merely get bored. Overall, I doubt we'd notice much of a change, though it could actually improve if people stick around. Keep in mind, new players are far more likely to poke at things like the raid finder since they're not used things as most of us are.

Another reason I support jumping players ahead if they so wish is I don't want to be forced back into old content. It's nice XIV keeps things relevant long past its release, but do you (generalizing) really want to go back and do them all over again? Stuff like Wondrous Tales will continuously be developed because certain instances need to have a consistent flux of players otherwise those new players will be waiting in 40-60 minute queues. Sometimes, you have to let old content die off to focus on current things.

Worse. Much worse. WoW is a prime example - quite a few people are completely new to the game, purchase a level boost to reach end game immediately and then have very little clue as to what, exactly, they're meant to be doing.
