Poll : Should FF14 allow purchasable “leveling potion” ? Please vote!

[DamianFatale]

I don't think they should. Maybe in the future, but probably not for a couple of expansions.

Personally I think that if they're going to offer any kind of progression jump, it should not be sold in the cash shop but rather available in game somehow or with purchase of the game or expansion, and if level-based then not all the way up to the current level cap. Give players some room to be required to learn their jobs before going into endgame. Though I'd rather it not be level-based.

Most of what gets complained about seems to be content gated behind the main story, so if that were separated from progression while giving players vanity incentives to complete, there shouldn't be a need for a jump. Allow players access to the expansion at early levels and give them new leveling areas, dungeons or whatever, with benefits that allow faster leveling.

No, please feel the pain of other player who made all to 60 thank you.

[Bloodb]

No!

FFXIV is fun at whatever point your at, beginner or veteran. It would take away from any meaning or fulfillment to be brand new but level 60 or 70 and already completed the main story quest. It's not like a veteran can't play with a new friend thats just starting out. There's already things like the friendship circlet to boost things along.

Don't do it!

No no no...

Please SE It only takes a short time to hit cap.

As far as people not interested in the MSQ you can skip the CS for the most part.

They have a mentor system to help new players and if all player are capped so quickly no one will ever get the mount.

If new players want to do new content and just the new content, maybe a Final Fantasy game isn't for them.

Idunno. Maybe I'm biased, this being the first MMO I've picked up. Maybe I'm biased from playing through so many other FF games. Maybe I'm biased because I'm just an incredibly patient player (played something like 9 months, slow and steady, all classes are only in the 40s range). But the idea of just skipping all that seems wrong. Not, like, morally wrong, but, disappointing wrong.

Maybe it would make more sense after the game has been out a while longer. But it's only a few years old right now, at most, right? Take some time, appreciate some of that work the devs put in. I feel like just jumping to the end misses out on really connecting with the game.

But I also acknowledge that there's many different play styles. So, some people might enjoy a power level method. Some may yet be content without. Making accommodations for many styles could be a good thing. But every design decision has its consequences.

I vote no on this.

Cannot get much more p2w then literally selling progression directly.

Was complete BS that WoW did this, and it goes against Yoshida's promises that the cash shop would not be p2w.

They do this why not sell Gear, XP boosters, Crafting boosters, and reset scrolls in the cash shop as well.

Hell they go down this route they can even sell reraise scroll insta raise to max hp, mp, all cooldowns reset, with no weakness, unlimited uses for only 1 dollar a pop. Never lose a raid again with scrolls of insta-raise! It will not be p2w because people can clear it without it right? They can even make it convenient for purchase is bad situations. Where you choose what happens when you dies it becomes an option. Return? Options => <purchase insta raise> This will be huge and flashing taking up at least 1/4th screen. <Return to start> <no> These 2 options will be under a more options button that is on the lower right corner.

Yea ok maby my example is alittle absurd... but if they want this game to be a cash shop game. Drop the sub simple as that and make it a pure cash shop game. Do not make me pay then offer lazy people, a option to buy progression. That is complete BS.

[Spawnie]

o hell no!!!!!! its easy as it is right now to level 1-60 with not much difficulty... why not just give every1 fully level capped classes asoon as they purchase game n log in for 1st time

[Laurima]

Change nothing

this game has become laughable easy in the one year I've played it and it's getting silly now,

Fair enough you want to expand the playerbase and I will say that a very common topic in the novice network is the grind and just how long things take but screw that, thousands of people have done that grind, be they hardcore raiders, part time players who only play a few hours a week or whatever, I think that would be a huge slap in the face to them tbh.

one of the key things about Final Fantasy that drew me in was STORY! Final Fantasy has always been about epic story and even in this game, for the most part it's epic.

A power leveling potion? why? do people need to be Lvl60 in Ilvl220 gear so they can clear the first trial against Ifrit?
