Pay to win would necessitate being able to purchase current endgame gear or some sort of power boost that provided an advantage otherwise unobtainable through reasonable play. Considering the jump potion won't even skip players to max level, it offers them nothing except a story skip.

I dont actually see the difference. If you can skip to x point they might as well sell the latest tome gear in the cash shop so you can go straight to raiding.grinding to gear up ilevel requires alot of the same time to get your level up, youre gonna be running dungeons ad naseum.. Just because it "seems" different, its only that way if you dont look at the system for what it is.
