My perspective is one who enjoys the leveling process. I have no desire to purchase a potion that skips 50 or 60 levels. What I want is a way to access things like the HW jobs without having to level an alt 50 levels (really more like 54, which is what you end up being by the time you're done with the ARR MSQ) on a class I did not want to play first. So I'm annoyed that the level jump potion is likely going to be used by both players and by SE as their excuse for why they won't fix the ARR block.

Anyway, I think we agree in theory. I'm just frustrated.

Removes all the MSQ gating, just grind levels and skip ahead.
This, please!
