I know it's been talked about, but seriously. No Jump Potions, here is why.

Better idea: a challenge for the naysayers that are opposed to jump potions.

Make an alt, level just one job to 60, do the MSQ up to the current end, AND WATCH EVERY SINGLE CUTSCENE AS THEY COME UP RATHER THAN AT THE INN.

If you do it, then CONGRATULATIONS! You will be living proof that jump potions might not be all that necessary, but it you so much as look at your main, you have to delete it. Now go! Go! Go!

I fail to understand how this proves anything. Not everyone desires an alt, and I believe many who are against JPs just don't want brand-spanking new subscribers to have access to them, and are ok with alts using them.

It's called "walking a mile in a newbie's shoes". Also with the Jump Potions, their plan from what I saw was to force you through the Cliff's Notes version of the main story, which given how much there is, doesn't necessarily mean it'd take "seconds"....not really a bad thing.

As for the job-based jump potions, as long as they have them like WoW has with level boosts involving something scenario-based to provide some basics, then I'd be in full support of it for those "brand-spanking new subscribers" mostly because there is no possible way that you can outlevel stupid.
