What this will lead to for me is a dumbed down levelling process (no more vault/gubal level dungeons), and a lot more segregation in the community.

I acknowledge that some people want to get to endgame to raid, but these players will become more in the minority as it becomes increasingly apparent that jump potion is mandatory, at which point we have to deal with players who didn't particularly want to skip in the first place.
Well first off I can almost guarantee you the people buying these potions are people who are already end game players or those who want to jump quick into the raiding scene.

Sure give feedback on how they can improve MSQ structure, but that isn't going to be the deciding factor for a jump potion implementation (by the way they have been making MSQ faster to go through if you haven't noticed). If a person buys the game and does not take in the fact they are playing a Final Fantasy MMO that structures itself on progression through story, then they did not do their research beforehand. If they feel that story and leveling progression is just a hurdle instead of a experience for them to enjoy, they can either quit or buy a jump potion and be all caught up no problem.

The point wasn't about you specifically. What is meant is that you, the person next to you, the population. It does not affect anyone as a whole except the buyer of the potion.
