If old content is dead , then whats the issue with a jump potion?

Well I have done the same I have spent about 4 months on arr stuff, and I dono what server ur own haha cost most people have agreed with me that the ques for extreme primal
s are horrible, now had mood is a different story those havent been that long. But ifrit , Titan King moogle, those ques are like 30 mins plus, I rem for coil I even filled in all five slots and still didnt get a que. I have taken plenty of time myself I dont feel the need to rush story either but Im not gona act like im the majority our way of thinkin is in the minority, Ive made many post talked to lots of people on my server, when I complain about some of the old content whether its quitters, or just a bad que Im told that content is old do the new stuff, and many other players do exactly that.

I'm on Siren. It's about mid-sized in terms of population. I do admit that I queue up as healer the most, but I still haven't had drastically long queue times as DPS either. The point being is that I don't have much trouble finding groups to run old content. However, this doesn't mean I've been able to take it all in as it comes. With a lot of older content, most players just want to be in and out, which is fine. When I am strong enough to do it unsynced, I go back. I ran Sastasha unsynced the other night, and for the first time ever out of God knows how many runs, I noticed that some of them blood thirsty drunken pirate mobs actually get into fights with each other. It was in one of three rooms I've never been in, and I finally completed 'mapping the realm' for that dungeon.

Trust me, I know the players that enjoy slow and steady progression are among the minority. And I know it is not fair for us to hold speedier players back. I can't even imagine how difficult it must be for the dev team to keep old content relevant while still giving those who prefer rapid progression what they need. But I feel they have have a done a pretty good job with this already. So I look at this potion concept scratching my head and saying, "really?"

Have you considered transferring to another server?

I actually love my server and I do have alts also on levitan cant spell hyperain, I have done coil unsync I prefer to do them sync just for the challenge thats whats been hard, but I decided to just keep moving forward, Im almost to hw I really wanted to play drk so I decided to go ahead and move on but Im gona still go back and do all the rest of the 50 extreme primals sync with each class, and do binding coil, and the other 24 man raids, So at the end of the day nobody is gona stop me from goin at my own pace, I just realize that it may take me a while to do all these sync like Im wantin to , and the jump potion would be because alot of people want to do whats relevant, and what everyone else is doing when you always hear thats old its out of date unless u had ur mind set on dong things your way youll just end up doing what others say is best.

Snip..

I have the same issue. Not only do I want to run things synced, I want to run them at the min iLv and it is difficult to find people wanting to do it. It does take longer that is for sure, but I am already content with doing things at a slower pace. It is how 'I' get the most enjoyment out of the game. I will never do anything that someone else feels is best if it conflicts with my current interests in the game. When I subscribed, several members of my FC were already set and ready to give me high level help to get me to HW asap, and I outright refused each and every one of them.

I honestly just look at it as my own cross to bare. Had I joined the game several years ago, I would have been able to enjoy the content as others have before me, and I can't expect older players to run these things with me the way I would like to do them, but I can appreciate those who do, and they are out there.

I am actually almost done with the things I wanted to do before going to HW. Just have to wrap up a dozen MSQs and finish my zodiac weapon. And after spending 7-8 months in ARR, I am really looking forward to the HW expansion. It's a whole other game really, and not speeding my way there in 4-8 weeks will not only help me appreciate HW even more, it will seriously create some nostalgic pillars for ARR.
