Jump Potion...again

[JCharms]

What is necessary is to fix the leveling and the MSQ process for ALL new players, not only those who want to pay an extra. The jumping potion can't be a band aid fix for flawed design.

Indeed, it really doesn't matter if they add these or not, the journey as it is, still must be sorted for the good of the game, its an ugly hamfisted mess at the moment that's only going to get worse, and cant be left as it is.
I just hope the powers that be realise this and are working on fixing it for 4.0.

This game doesn't become MMO until you hit the current content. Before that, it's a single player RPG with a sub. Jumping will be necessary to get new players eventually.

That's not true at all. Other players are required for content throughout much of the MSQ's.

A lot of group content is also unlocked fairly added on. There's POTD and The Gold Saucer.

The biggest difference is a great deal of WoW feels like dead weight right now. I can actually still play and enjoy older content in FF14. If a Jump Potion ever became necessary, it honestly feels like that'd best be reserved for later on. There's a margin of bias in my words, naturally as I'm against this, but it feels too early for it either way.

I'm kind-of against this, mainly because I don't want to see this community become WoW2.0. Mainly extremely toxic, full of immature jerks, and very elitist about how things are/should be done. I know we have that now, but I feel it's very very minor. I've run into maybe a handful of jerks while doing dungeons in the time I've been playing. I also have six characters total, so that's a lot of dungeons. :P But at the same time, BECAUSE I have so many alts, I also know the pain of the MSQ. But instead of jumping players to end game, where they will start to complain that there's nothing to do or the grind is too much, I seriously think the MSQ needs to be reworked. I know it would be more work for SE, but I think it would be better than a potion at the present time.

MSQ Dungeons:
If they won't rework dungeons so they aren't required, then I think upping the rewards for the MSQ dungeons might help some. Have the game be able to look at the player's level and adjust the rewards. Like more level appropriate tomestones. Right now the rewards are not very good for the MSQ roulette.

Level Gating:
THIS needs to be rethought. Period. Getting stuck from continuing the MSQ because you are one level below what it says you should be is stupid. With Palace of the Dead it's not as bad as it was, since you can run that for XP as well as nice rewards, but it's still stupid to have to stop doing the MSQ cause you have to level up. This is especially bad between 40 and 50. SE needs to increase the XP from the MSQ some to balance this better.

All in all, I really hope they don't add a potion. Mainly cause I worry the quality of the community will decline rapidly. Also for fear that it will make RMT bots even worse. But if they do, there's not much we can do about it. But please SE, for the love of all that's holy, DO NOT MAKE THE POTION WORK FOR DOH/DOL classes!! This would be a HUGE middle finger to people that worked very hard to level up all gathering and crafting classes. And since it's not essential to end game, the potion shouldn't work on these. Also I feel it should only go to 50. Make them at least do HW. :P Just my one cent though.

This already happened when the game became more popular. It will happen no matter what. I've encountered so many already and I've been here since closed beta 1.0

Yea as another person said they already happened, I could see it even when 2.0 launched the difference between people that were playing it cause it a final fantasy title and the general mmo crowd.

Not sure why this topic needed yet another thread, nothing in the OP hasn't been said before, many times in the many other threads already open.

I said why in the OP. It was in an RECENT interview with Yoshi and they are still monitoring public opinion. Why would they dig up a months old post to find out what the community thinks NOW?

Same thing we all said last time. I'm betting this interview is the same one from that other mega thread floating around.
