Lets talk about Micro transactions

[Ilan]

So this is not one of those post that is going to say all micro transactions are bad as I get why jump potions are a thing especially when you have friend new to the game that wants to jump right in with content your doing.

But what I don't understand is why the hell do we need jump potions for retainers, that's starting to look a little pay to win to me. What will be next jump potions for anima weapons? jump potion for squadrons or how about a jump potion so you don't even need to click start on the title screen.

Do you think it ok for se to keep making content skip items for all game content or would you of preferred the "Yes I got my Large house because there are enough wards for everyone" Potion XD

Why we need jump potions for retainers? We don't need them, we just got them just like the other potions too. No one cares about that stuff.

It entices buying more retainers as well. its dual purposed. Here buy another retainer, and just jump it right away.

I'm not going to lie, I thought about it. And technically retainers are needed and cared about considering they dont want to fix the storage space (aka please add a glamour log) issue.

I still don't get why people need a load of retainers. I'm not a hoarder, i'm fine with 2.

Seriously I'm wondering if crafter and gathering skips are in our future. And for the record I did do a Story Skip for one of my alts to get her to SB. She was a 50 whm and I didn't want to do story again for the 6th time.

Would a crafter jump potion even be a big deal? From what I can tell, many people seem to level their crafters by buying HQ items and handing them in to leves anyway.

Or the levequest packages people sell.

The only way I've leveled my crafters is through the beast tribe quests. Though, I do only have one of them at 60 right now...and have procrastinated on leveling the others...

I have 3. one fully for crafting since weaving takes alot of stupid items.

The other two are for glamour and other random drops/housing items which at least housing items have been addressed....

I also buy alot of mogstation gear that cant be stored in the armoire and I level most of my jobs so I also have gear waiting for level ups. That's where having more than 2 is definitely a nice feature. You need to just see it that not everyone plays like you with 2 retainers. Some need to stretch out the holding space.

Pretty much this... Soon I will be doing the same thing.

Because conventionally, you do need the extra retainers.

But if you were to micro-manage items from all venues of activities, you'd ve fine with the basic 2.

Part of the reason I have multiple retainers(all 8 in fact) is because I am a hoarder - trying to go through and get rid of stuff I can get from Calamity Salvager...just easily distracted. Another reason, is because of the minions that only retainers can bring back. While I will be able to cut back on my retainers once I do clear some of them off, I'm not sure how many I would end up getting rid of.

I feel like this whole jump potion destroys experience for mmo. When i joined ff14 community, i had friends that already were ahead of me with full lvl and Ilvl. Somehow as a truck driver with only 2 days aviable to play during a week I was able to catch up. I feel it's a way to make money off people that wants to see results in instant. Too skip the grinding but isn't that what mmos are about? "grinding"? We either grind for gear, item or exp. It's all my opinion only.

As long as any microtransactions are not personally effecting my gameplay I don't really care. Bring on all the cosmetic DLC you want I don't care. Just don't give anyone an inherent advantage over someone else. If that rule can be adhered to I'm cool with it. Now do I consider Jump Potions bad? Hmm... Not really no. They don't effect me. I do however think they're dumb. Why would you want to skip content you payed money for? That is just dumb imo.
