I merely advocate for a "skip to the new and shiny expansion you just paid for" potion. Surely you dont expect newcomers to shelf out 60+ dollars for Stormblood and be happy with the amount of work required to reach the part of the game that appealed to them.

I know id be royaly miffed if i bought say WoW Legion and have the game say "nuh uh, the fancy stuff you saw... You can get that in 200 hours. No demon hunter for you lol"

Whether the result is a potion that skips story progress or levels i could not care less about. I am just concerned that Stormblood will fail to draw in as many new players as it potentially could. Seen from a market perspective, the casual player is the most profitable one. SE has at no point tried to hide that FFXIV is a game built around casual, daily, short gameplay sessions. I want the game to succeed, and if this means catering heavily to the player who wants easy and fast access to shiny stuff, so be it.
