    The gear that boosts your exp isnt really all that helpful. Once you start getting up in levels the stats on them are so low the amount of time it takes to kill a mob negates the xp bonus. You could wear them in a dungeon but then your group has to carry you through the entire thing while your useless.

    Maybe if they gate the 60 job boost behind compleating the main story questline or say something that proves they know the mechanics of not only this game but mmos in general.

    It sucks waiting 30 mins on a dps to have a run fall apart because the tanks arguing with the healer about who pays who's sub because neither of them know how to play the game properly.

    If you're one of the people that have taken time to look at the basics of how the game works in group play and are open to learning: I'm sorry but you're the vast minority.

    Yeah.. no.

    On my third class now, spending the majority of my time in dungeons on the second and third, never had a single problem in any dungeon run.

    You should look somewhere else to place your blame. "If it's not them, its ....". Fill in the blank.

    The you are extremely lucky. I have had many pleasant DF runs but also quite a few that left a sour taste in my mouth. Yesterday morning I tried to help a friend clear Royal Menagerie and we sent the entire hour wiping because the tanks 1. Didn't want to wait for mechanic explanations (didn't even want to wait for Protect--literally charged head first into the fight each time the barrier dropped), and 2. After we explained mechanics, died 5 out of the 6 pulls we managed between dying and bickering to Tidal Wave, the very first mechanic.

    Bad players will be bad, potion or no potion. But my experience with jump potion users (I have been with a few) is that they didn't bother to take the time to read any of the basics of their job they just jumped to 60 (and all of them were tanks, too). Of course, this is true for non-potion users as well, so it's not just a potion-user epidemic. Personally, I don't mind seeing the use for them on alts, but for new characters, it kind of defeats the purpose of the game: pay to play the game, and then pay for a potion to...not play half of the game (the leveling aspect of it)?. I know people want to get to end game to play with friends, but if they had good friends, said friends would still do leveling content with them regardless of their own max level, and still make the entire experience (not just the end game aspect of it) enjoyable.

    Did you ever ask the people who did a great job if they used a jump potion...not enough data, pretty one sided if you ask me

    I'm not sure how I'm supposed to make people in my dungeons do the very basics of their job when even a hint of trying to help is met with stoney silence or being swore at though, or were you insinuating I'm "bad" or caustic in some way?

    I'm not, I'd just like things to go smoothly without constantly dps'ing healers and tanks that don't use their emnity combos dropping F bombs everywhere.

    I can't tell you, because it's literally never happened to me.

    63-67 (for the third time) in dungeons since I made the post that you quoted.. still nothing.
