Jump Potion...again

[ErryK]

The thing is that if you reach each previous cap progressively, you'll probably want to try corresonding content at the same time as your continue leveling, and it will give you small increments to your character. If you start right at level 60 just to do the MSQ that will carry you to 70, you won't have any reason to do previous content. Now, when we started the game at 2.0, we had no problem to understand the "lack" of content in a very young game. Start the game after 4 years, and if you burn through the latest expansion because it's the only thing that would actually offer progress, you'll just feel ripped off by the game.

You say that as if it's the game's fault that you purchased the potion. The potion is there for those who wish to skip the story of 1-60, whether you want to do that and reap the consequences/rewards is up to the individual, not the game.

If you make the pot available, everybody will go for it.

I said that too, and then I got people on my back saying not everyone will go for it. But honestly, it depends on how it's priced. Too expensive and not many will go for it, too cheap and well... that's not a bad thing for SE since the sales will be through the roof.

As if complainers would be honest enough to react that way

Considering the mere idea of a jumping potion comes from "Oh, but new players won't be able to do endgame right away, and they might feel the pressure of having to burn quickly", I'm sure everyone who didn't already reach the end of 3.x when 4.0 starts will buy a potion. Especially if that can "skip" a month grinding your way to 60.

Well, it's a double edged sword when it comes to jumping potions: one one hand, you have level 60s and loads of people playing the game, on the other hand, you have people who don't know their rotations/skills and people complaining about that. Which is why it's being taken into consideration but not 100% guaranteed to be in yet, and I kind of have to agree. But it does cut out the middleman: which is the arduously long EXP and MSQ sequence.
