    My first thought was this. My second thought was maybe they don't speak English. My third thought was, "This has been an issue since before jump potions were added to the game so how does this justify the '#deletejumppotions' tag?"

    I've thought about jumping my alt on Diabolos since ours my third alt and I've already done 2 to 60 (my main to all 60s), why should I do it again for a character I made for one specific purpose on another server (which is to attend ASR shows, btw).

    Umm well I forgot to mention that his only job was pld at 60 + sprout icon. So assume he bought the jump potion. + if we consider he is a bot, shouldnt we worry about ppl abusing the pot to bot actually?

    They would have to be one of two things for it to be worth it(especially if they get ban hammered for something):
    1. They are rich and don't care about money
    2. Making real money off of the botting to be able to buy more and more as their accounts are banned(having talked to some community managers from other game forums it's hard to do an IP ban for some because some areas use regional IP, and they would essentially be banning legit gamers if they did so, and must do an account by account ban/check)...though with this one they could actually ban the SE account that the game is registered to in order to counter act it...

    Fair, though getting a PLD to 60 in the span where you're still a sprout is really easy now with all the enhanced EXP and not needing to level CNJ to 15 as well.

    Putting that aside along with the bot problem, since that is a problem and always will be, I don't see how: "New player uses jump potion" + "Jumped PLD doesn't use Shield Oath and doesn't respond" = "Jump potions are bad and should be removed"

    To me that seems more like a player issue, not specifically the item issue. There are ways that could be remedied by forcing players who jump to finish some starter training before being able to play in dungeon content (annoying for people jumping alts, but small price to pay), but once again that's a player issue, not a item issue in my opinion.

    bots run with bots, as there is a high risk of being reported.
