Having to slog through lvl 50 quests is tedious

Standard business practice; create a problem (ARR slog), sell the solution (jump potions)

I'd post my nine no-jump potion alts but I'm at work. With a tenth on the way.

Considering that jump potions were added more than two years after the final 2.x patch, I really doubt those patches were made with the intent to sell jump potions.

I'd say that as questionable in quality as some quests were, they are offer free experience points, free HQ gear, and gil (all 3 of which I see people take for granted too often.)

Keep in mind these quests did not give any experience points or HQ gear during the ARR patches as they used to be end-game story quests.
