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

I hope they plan to give something to the players for the hard work we busted our arses for to be the players we already are in the community and among the servers we're on. It's not enough that we grind job after job after job after job and reap the benefits for our own work; but to hand players a silver platter with everything they need to 'catch up', just makes it look like Pay 2 Win could become a thing soon enough. Next thing you know, you'll be able to buy gil from mogstation.

Need that new i450 armor? Mog station Micro transaction.
Need to level all jobs? Micro transactions
Need to cap that chocobo? well, no, you'll be grinding that from level 1. OH... okay.

All these examples are very different to the reality of the Jump Potions. Even if you jump an alt job you still need to lvl through the last 10 lvls to get to cap. Its not like people will use these potions and start queuing up for EX roulettes 10 minutes later.

Right, but what content do you play with from 1-60 and 60-70? It's definitely not endgame. But it's content you already don't understand. You're not planning to make a difference unless you decide to make that push and make it aware that you are willing to try and put in effort. Going the route of the jump potion is just lazy. 10 levels won't mean much today as it does when you or I ourselves are level 1. Why play a game you plan to think about quitting after 5min getting to the top, and realizing you plan to quit because the content at the end of the road is too hard. This is no different than the 'We Want' players who stop doing the content because 'this is too hard and I want a nerf for this content'.

Retainers you can buy to make more gil ingame quickly? P2W
Gil buying? Able to buy the best gear on the market. ALL P2W.
Buying weapons and armor that give you a higher advantage? P2W.

I'm not saying that ALL these things will be ingame, obviously, but that's the joke. All games in 2016 have had some kind of micro transaction system. Most shooters are the brunt of that joke.

If thats how you view playing a game, I'm not sure what to say.
