Possible level/story jumps....really?

[Jandor]

If the store associate is knowledgeable like me, they tell them that they will need to buy 2 other FFXIV expansions first. They'll also tell them that (if things stay as they are) they'll need to go through those 2 games to get to that content they saw in the trailer, and requires 15 dollars a month, and that person's already 4 feet out of the door by that point. At least in my experience, where people occasionally laugh when I say that it's 40 extra dollars to access every piece of content on top of their 50-60 dollar purchase. That's not even considering the time investment.

How hard do they laugh when you tell them on top of that 100 dollar purchase they'll need to pay even more dollars to basically delete part of that purchase?

And even still, there's no good reason to deny new/returning players the option for a Jump Potion. That is, unless you're of the opinion that leveling is some rite of passage that you don't want others to bypass because somehow it hurts your experience.

A lot of people are denying it should be paid for. If it really is a problem, the solution should be part of the game, not an expensive extra.

The devs are weighing in either implementing it or leaving things as they stand. They aren't considering an in-game quest skip.

That a fact? I think they are at least considering it.

"Of course this isn’t so we can make money off players wanting to skip the content"

"Whether or not to actually implement that or offer it as a purchasable option still hasn’t been decided."

Doesn't read like they have decided whether to do it or not, or that they have decided if it should be purchasable if they do. If it's implemented and not purchasable that only really leaves in-game.
