Level boosting items on the way

[Domeric]

*Bragging rights. P***ing off every other Final Fantasy player who worked day and night leveling their characters. That's a huge "f*** you" to our face from Square Enix.

This is false. There is no bragging right granted by using a potion to reach level 50 or 60.

There isn't, but someone IS going to brag about it and it will upset people.

We should not really care if it upsets some people because those people have other issues

What is with the assumption that new players are automatically dumb and unable to learn anything unless they grind through hundreds of story quests which offer no guidance on how to even play?

Sure when I first played aMMO over a decade ago I was young and stupid. When I joined in ARR I was far from bad from the start and picked up everything quickly.

If someone was sold on the content coming in SB then realize they have to spend a month slogging through msq to reach what was advertised, they might not stay around. Also I don't see a majority of "bad" players willing to pay double the game price for the boosts from the get go. I guess it will be more popular with veteran players coming from other games.

I would find it funny if someone tries to brag about how they paid to not play content, which they pretty much already paid for (base game not free).

I don't have an issue with the jump potions and the people who complain that the jump potion users wont know how to play clearly haven't seen the frost mages, BRD/MCH who refuse to use Wanderers or gauss barrel.

people can roflstomp through POTD and have zero clue how to play a class, bads will always be bad as long as they refuse to learn or take advice and they argument is usually the same "you dont pay my sub" garbage.

the end of the day this is still a business and if SE didn't make money we wouldn't be playing XIV. And for people looking to get into SB the worst thing about the leveling process was the absurd amount of stupid MSQ quests they are travel to point B and back to A over and over and the 150+ quests to just get into HW. Quite a few friends from a previous MMO who expressed interest in trying XIV for end game stuff found out about the awful grind of MSQ and didn't bother trying XIV

Once these jump potions are in, i hope that they will sell high lvl raids full sets as well in the mogstation.

I haven't the time to get them myself, plus i find boring to train and wipe numerous times like some others cant stand the repetitive things in the MSQ. But still i want to go play right away with my already well stuffed friends. There is a too wide gap between me and them, i shouldn't be left behind because i have less stuff than them.

Plus as already said numerous times about jump potions who cares if i get all the raid stuff without doing them, play for yourself and not for being jealous that i did get the same things for some euros. Everyone can eventually get through raid content anyway, it's not like it's something to be proud of.

For those who could be worried that i will not have the experience needed to play correctly, i can always hone my skils at a later time. It is not gonna make a difference with these tanks who are unable to take the aggro back from me on some alea boss.

That being said i hope this will not be too expensive. 15 euros for a full set + all the extra items and titles from the raid it comes from seems like a good price.

I'm totally OK with jump potions. For people who legitimately want to get to Stormblood because of limited play time rather than limited skill, these are very convenient. For bads who just want to level up fast, it won't matter because they will be bad regardless of how they leveled up. And this will prevent a fraction of the bads from ever going into DF dungeons LOL.

[Shougun]

I guess if I had a complaint it'd be they have the specialization system which locks your character's crafting capability down, and so this system sort of comes in and says "ooh look at me, I'm mr. mese-- I'm a free level on your alt so you can have all the specializations". Although the feeling really stems from the specialization system I guess and not the potions.

As said before hopefully they make some nice smoothing in system though. A lore recap video while installing the game or at least one that gives you direction, and things to give you direction in the game (normally a game unfolds itself to you, plopping you so late in the game is like being assaulted by ten thousand bouquets :3 - good luck if you're not a natural gamer lol).
