I don't think so. We already have so much in the game that provides an EXP boost (Rested EXP, buff food, FC Actions, as well as bonuses to first-timers), so why, even though we have all these avenues for EXP, does this apparent 'mindset' warrant an EXP pot?

does it warrant it? no
will it be there? most likely yes.
do you think WoW doesn't have exp boosts as well?
does it have insta 100 now? yes
see the trend?

Just to emphasize why I said it's not a big deal. I recently subbed again. I went from 90-100 in 3 or 4 hours with upgraded heirlooms (which means around 5 or so hours without). Going from 1-90 takes about that same span of time as well. So uhmm... what part of that makes the instant 100 a big deal? With a game that you can just solo quest all the way to max level.

As for this game, do you really think the leveling process is mandatory at this point? At least for people who already leveled to max on one job, that is. You don't really learn a whole lot while you level, and if you have the drive to learn, you'd do it anyway regardless of taking the slow approach or jumping ahead. Do we magically not have bad players now or something? Those guys were forced to group up too to get to the HW areas. While I don't really see a point to having the instant boost option here, I'm not so ignorant as to just automatically state it'll be the destruction of the game, which is exactly what it seems you're implying. Correct me if I'm wrong about that. We are talking about a game that lets you level up solo, aren't we? One that even in groups, lets you be carried too. Maybe if this game were very strict about its leveling process, the argument against an instant boost would have significant merit, but where we are now... it's just pointless defense.

is the in game advantage significant? probably not. Though getting to end game faster does give you more of an advantage.
You're only seeing the leveling progress while ignoring what it causes for end game.
How much of a difference 3-4 hours gives you. That's like an extra day or two of savage practice.
Or are you gonna say that it doesn't matter because it doesn't impact the majority?

I'm done. We obviously have our own way of thinking and will never agree on where the game should go.
If the cons of the game outweighs the pros I'll just quit like I did WoW XD
