Info about the Chinese Cash Shop "Level Jumping Potions"

honestly this doesn't seem thaaat bad, though it's not necessary at all. the thing i find funny though is the argument "people will get to max level with no idea how to play!"
have you been in dutyfinder lately? no one knows how to play!

Slightly off topic, but picking up on the above.

In earlier days of playing mmos, and early WoW was my go-to game, some people struggled with their class. But it wasn't viewed as an opportunity to criticize them.
Instead guilds had class mentors who would hold discussions with the relevant players, advising and mentoring.
We would hold raid runs over and over, purely for the purpose of helping newer players (or simply experienced players who where on a new class).

People have got into the habit of using WoW as some kind of target. But the community at the time I played was truly excellent.
And I've used the critical word - Community. We helped each other, new players, often strangers we saw struggling a bit.

But now?
People struggling are viewed as an opportunity to ridicule. 'Must have done this/that etc' before a person gets a chance of an invitation to a group. How's that supposed to work if no one helps them?

We say no one knows how to play a class - yet how many fc's now take a lot of time out to help learning players?
Very few from my experience. The norm nowadays is a few people in the fc running their own group. Private invitations to groups, that are never announced in the wider fc chat.

Sure there are people who will struggle no matter what - but there are plenty others who would improve significantly if others would take the time to really sit down and help them.

People underestimated what a real supportive playing Community could do - and have drifted into this - 'our group for ourselves, and target others' - mindset.
