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

[Laerune]

I guess players who find leveling crafting and gathering classes tedious, can now pay their way to level 60. I already have few LS members who can't wait till they release those potions.

Chances is good that it only work with jobs

I see what you are saying, but I can't say I agree with not bundling it with at least one of the potion types. To me adding a price tag on top of purchase, on top of subscription doesn't sit right in the spirit of "catching people up" which is their entire reason on even adding it. By adding it bundled with an expansion, it doesn't benefit anyone that has already finished ARR/HW.(for the story potion anyway) It only benefits people that are behind and only if they want to. Any additional purchases would be for alts etc... Thus making it look less like a money grab, and more of an optional service.

I think Yoshida said already no to bundle

These potions are an optional purchase, and it will not be very cheap to purchase both of them. The price has not been set this way looking for profits, but rather, it has been set the way it has to indicate our intention that these items are not those that anyone can use freely.

Giving them away for free in a bundle would be against the intention to encourage the players not to buy it with a high price.
Except maybe if the potion price is added to the bundle price (like as a bonus item in 5.0 Ultima Edition version).

Fair enough, hopefully they read what I wrote anyway and take it into consideration.

That's all I can do, I can't stop the potion from coming, I already un-subed because of it coming, the best I can do is offer ideas on how it could be implemented in a way that would make me more willing to re-think my subscription status. So I believe it to be valuable input to them regardless of what I end up doing.
