Well there is already a 55 page thread that this talking about this for new and alt characters.

Ah I thought it was just for new ones, and comparing what the Chinese store had vs. here.
No I'm against potions period for this purpose. It is not difficult to level a character these days. I have leveled 5 characters to 60 on different servers. I thought I had heard(I could be wrong), that SE or it could've been from Yoshi P that they were going to learn from other mmorpgs mistakes and do differently. I never played WoW but I have read and watched enough to know that the players really didn't want it and I don't recall figures but I know that that game is losing subs quickly.
Umm... I'd rate it a 3 out of 10?
Like most workarounds, it sounds like it'd be a wasted opportunity to improve the game.
Having 4 characters in Heavensward myself, I'd welcome a way - any way - to skip the story between praetorium and Heavensward, because as much as I like leveling alts, I can't bring myself to do the MSQ again. The part before and after that at the very least helps you level by giving you a decent chunk of XP per quest, that part is just pointless porting around skipping cutscenes you already know while not making any noteworthy progress. There are no meaningful choices to be made in the MSQ either, so there's no reason to look at the cutscenes again.
It's a chore I'd really rather see gone "somehow-anyhow".
I already posted about this in the other thread but I don't want this. They need to just make some of the main story quests optional. It's simple.
I don't think we need a leveling potion. Just make all the 50 MSQ stuff optional for alts.
I've already leveled all the classes on one character, I don't want to do that again. >_>
I agree with what Ethys said on his YouTube channel about those pots. They kinda nerfed some aspects of the game and story to appeal on those who want to lvl faster. Look what happened with the Primals and the Awaking Primals story arch. It got shafted from the MSQ and became an insignificant side quest. If they gonna nerf everything to appeal to those in hurry for lvling then implement the potion at a high price for those willing to skip and let me have my compiling FF experience without reducing the core experience for us who want to have the traditional FF RPG experience.
Six of my characters have gone through Heavensward, the seventh is post 2.0 and merely waiting on a specific alt of my friend to find the time to level up and an eight is a placeholder for a potential new race. I'm not supportive of this idea. I'd be okay with an experience boost or access to mounts from the get-go, but not a free pass.
