Naoki Yoshida's Comment in Regard to Jump Potions/Boost Potions

[FinaSel]

Already quit the game due to lack of worthwhile content, among other reasons.

Was consiering coming back some day.
But now with these kinds of items, I will not play again.

I have, in almost all cases, hated games with items like this.
Quality of players will decrease and, since most of the game requires cooperation with other players, quality of game will decrease.

I strongly disagree with the decision and reasons made in the post.

I'm afraid you'll find that these days there are very few online games that don't offer a service like this. WoW does it. GW2 does it. SWTOR does it. Frankly FF14 is currently one of the few which don't do it.

That's why I chose this game. Because it didn't have those things.
But now that it does...well I'm uninstalling it right now.

EDIT: Wanted to add one reason why I feel strongly about this.
Already, we get people in groups who do not know how to play.
They waste everyone else's time.

We wait 30 minutes, an hour, or more for a group sometimes. We finally get the group. Then we get a player who knows nothing and wastes the precious time of the other players.
I think most of us have jobs and families and many responsibilities. We want to make the most of the little time we have to play the game.

But when that time is wasted because someone lacking experience is there, it is very bad for everyone else.
Especially people who queue "Completion" but can't even survive past the first phase.

These potions will just increase these kinds of problems.
No. No, we don't need any more of this. I don't. You don't. The community doesn't. NO ONE wants more bad, inexperienced players.

These potions will create countless problems, while fixing one.

You are over reacting quite a bit don't you think? It isn't even a thing yet. The producer/director's post just outlined how the jump potions work in Korea and Chinese versions of the game. Now, he is simply asking for feedback from North American players in this forum. Instead, he gets overly emotional posts like yours who are either too bothered to read passed the first paragraph because the phrase "jump potion" has you too triggered, or are threatening to uninstall and cancel subs. I wouldn't be surprised if he completely disregards the responses in this thread.

I'm not "threatening" to uninstall or cancel subs.
I already stopped renewing my subscription before this was announced.
And already uninstalled.

I read the entire post.

I disregarded the responses in this thread, because by the time I read 30 pages of responses, 30 more will be posted.

I do not like the idea of jump potions. I do not need to dumb down my feelings in regards to this. It is how I feel.
I am expressing my feelings on this important topic for anyone who reads this, not only other players, to understand how some people feel about this.

And who knows whether any developer will read this or not.
But, in the end, I guess it doesn't affect me anymore anyway, because I won't play again. So...yeah.

Just expressing my dissatisfaction with their decision to do this.
