That doesn't mean they won't add a jump potion. Just that you have to go through ARR and Heavensward if you opt out of purchasing one should it be made available.

Heavensward 12mil budget, Stormblood 35mil budget.... If extra cash shop items people purchase help me get more jobs then I'm ok with it.

Where do people keep getting these budgets from? Haven't seen anyone link a source, other than the investor relation's page which doesn't have any Stormblood information.

If anything, that would hint towards a jump potion. You can either;

A. Level as normal and do every quest to reach the expansion.

B. Buy a jump potion to 50/60/70 whatever and skip the story.

Are you sure the cash shop is confirmed? Do you have a source on this?

I think they mentioned it at fanfest. I might be wrong though.

They mentioned increasing the budget so they can improve their servers for the much requested inventory/armoury space additions, but nothing about tripping the game's budget. For comparison, The Witcher 3's development budget is 46m USD which included top of the line visuals at the time, one of the largest open worlds filled to the brim with interesting side quests all somewhat decently voice acted and a 40+ hour main quest line. We don't know much about the expansion... it's possible, but it sounds like a rumour that got out of hand.
