If you're paying to bypass content, then your content isn't interesting. It also means people are paying $60 to get past learning how to play a class putting a massive strain on post-level-cap dungeons.

As with my experience on 50 level - a lot of people learn nothing about how to play properly during their "run to 50" stage. No real correlation, because pre-50 content is either too easy or completely skippable. And most people just use a basic class guide "how to play at 50 level", that can be used regardless of whether you exped there by yourself, or you abused the system and just spammed fates, leves or whatever "go easy to 50 without learning anything" route you might choose. I exped some classes to 50 in about lvl30 gear without even acquiring job - it might really helped me to play properly in those classes.
I saw another day a SMN in ~105ilvl (!!!) gear that was a completely disaster in expert roulette and the whole party have a hard time because of it. He just failed at every corner, and this shows that even rather high ilvl obtainable at zero skill, so there is no point in blaming cash shop for it.

And when you do the same route in fifth time - it's understandable that it's not interesting. There are not much variety in low level content and there is no real plan for expanding it for obvious reasons.

You can argue the the effectiveness of this purchase all you want, but it does change the strength/power of a character in exchange for real-world money. This is a buy-power-with-money scenario.

Yes, it is bypassing content, But this content is not even a midcore ground, it's straight in the casual territory, and I really don't think they there should be so much anger and hussle about content lying in the casual crowd territory.
