I though jump potion was "for people to catch up" but I'm sure some smart cookie is going to come up with a very ingenious detailed explanation of why they want everything handed to them. But hey that's just me I guess I'm one of those who believes on working for what you want.
    More than one story pot would be for alts on the same account, nobody wants to go through the story twice, let alone 3 times or 8 times.
    Same with jobs on those alts AND/OR your main. Learning a job has nothing to do with leveling it the "hard" way (really.. is it that hard to throw time at it till it's leveled?). I've met people who did the grind themselves and still played very oddly or non optimally. These people also don't usually take criticism well and will NOT change from whatever system they've entrenched themselves in.

    Tell me how not wanting to throw another 2 weeks at leveling a class is being a slacker, with a full time job and other responsibilities? Maybe if you have the 5-6 hours a day to throw at this game it SEEMS like someone isn't putting in "the work" but some people just don't have that kind of extra time but still want to play with friends at the same level.
    You claim that anyone who wants this implemented is lazy and entitled. I counter that you're not seeing it from a position that this is a game people play for entertainment, not a second job. Most of the playerbase plays for entertainment and relaxation and doesn't need even more time sinks added to the already long grind.

    I personally haven't used any level or story hop pots yet, but as the jobs stack up and the story gets longer and longer, my alts languish in mediocrity. Right now they're mostly glorified storage, but if I could drop a couple dollars and bring them up to speed , my roleplaying and adventuring would open up quite a bit. I'm more than willing to put in a few hours learning a new class, even looking up rotations and optimal button layouts during work. I'd wager I could compete with a "legit" leveled person playing the same class within 3 or 4 days.


    There are admittedly downsides to having pots available without restriction. RMT spammers in Kugane. Bot gil farmers at 60. These I think are the current reason SE doesn't want to open the floodgates. These are valid enough reasons to keep it to one pot per account and I'll accept them.

    but "you have to earn it"? Tell me why my time spent earning the money it requires to use a jump pot is less valuable than your 2 weeks "working for what you want" in a video game. Time is always the ultimate commodity, remember that and your perception of value on many things will change drastically. You're always spending time, and you get no more of it than anyone else (give or take a few years). Spend it wisely.
