Farewell Eorzea you lost another one.

[Yasuhiro]

11 years of FFXI and beeing here since 1.0 holding in to the last hope of something good would come out of this finally proved I can't fit in this envoirment anymore.

Gasp! The forbidden game hisssss!!!!
Anyway
Sucks that you're leaving, I hope this jump potion doesn't really harm the game, if anything those who aren't really interested in the game will leave after a week a month at most. Come back soon! on a side not I do agree with keeping the core player base, I really don't mind if this game has a niche playerbase

WoWfugees are hurting this game

but then again I don't know business so I'll shush about that, they just need to do something about this shallow end game to keep people interested

Let's be honest, this game will not really survive without the implementation of jump potions.

You cannot win new players to come and pick up this game without an incentive...

No, it cannot survive without jump potions! Totally not! Instead we release HW with almost no endgame content at all at launch and make 3.1 one of the most disappointing patches ever.
We totally need new players! Who cares about the vets who threw time into this game or why would we even bother with designing lasting content! Even if Aquapolis and Potd we're a step into the right direction, the decreasing subs are not only solved with new guys.

SB's greatest challange will be to take another step at endgame, because if it turns out to be another 3.0 you will see even less people on the servers.

How about we stop with this whole "entitled" mindset and get on with the actual issues at hand

Content

I do agree with you that the expansion has been pretty lackluster to date. But I've met many people who have come into the game new and left just as quick because they weren't able to access the new content that 90% of the community has access to. Yes, maybe that's just their bad luck for not giving this game as much commitment as you and I as well as the many others who have played this since 2.0 have.

Jump potions IMPO will be a great item for those who want to get straight to the content. And I will be one of the players that will be there sherpering them through content, as the true 'end game' for me is to help others (aside from glamour of course)

[Evangela]

The potion will just let them level jump and skip main scenario quests, right? Why should we care about them? level isn't that important for a game that most content are endgame content.

[Edewen]

Jump potions simply allow people to skip the process of story. you dont learn to play well while leveling so how exactly does this affect me? How is it my problem that some random player picked up the game, used the jump potion, and started off at 50? Some people are far too worried about others and need to mind themselves. Would I use one, no im a story nerd. But I also understand that everyone is not motivated by the same aspects as me.

Could you at least wait, I don't know, five days so we actually know more than nothing about Stormblood before you start being a doomsayer?

Who cares what they say. SE has said a lot of things but it either takes them 3+ years to actually DO it (and most of the time it's still somehow a major let down) or never do it at all. So many things have changed from what they have told us to "look forward to" that you'd be a fool to believe anything until it's actually active in the game.

I wanna do a DJ Kali impression so bad right now.

Seriously thought OP don't give up.

Yeah it's PTW anyone else saying otherwise is white knighting.

If a new player decides to start the game fresh without the jump potion, they are at a disadvantage to the other guy buying one starting at level 60 with gear and gil.

Plain and simple.
