Jump Potion...again

[alimdia]

So glad SE is helping out new players like this, so benevolent, so thoughtful. /s

Jumping potions have always been expensive in other games, it's a big premium for skipping content, while here they are dividing it in two each still seems to come around at half the price of a full potion, so buying two items isn't an issue.

Those anti level jump should be glad they are putting the price bar high, it means less people will buy it and more will take the traditional leveling approach, aka spam potd while still dont knowing how to play.

These potions are a good Idea. People blow money to get to the end, burnout faster, and the terrible players leave quicker while square gets money. Win win.

I'm not sure a potion would be the best idea. As someone who has been playing for twenty days without even STARTING on the class I really want to play (AST), I agree that new players who join late have a tough time. But this potion wouldn't skip anything but the grinding, right? MSQ would still be mandatory, class quests would as well, so--the jump potion wouldn't do anything that an xp gain re-balance wouldn't? I'd rather they just upped the MSQ xp so leveling could be done on that and class quests alone.

Swallow there's a quest skip potion as well. It sets you to have all content done.

Previous MSQ content, not the current expansion MSQ.

I can tell you what sort of player does it in WoW: ones who only care about the end-game, AKA hardcore raiders. Because they need to get to that content as fast as possible, they boost and plow through what remains after the boost.

Aren't "hardcore raiders" always complaning there is not enought content to be done ? Why ruch to endgame if it is to complain later on that there is nothing to do ?

[Daranion]

Well of coure not the current expansion. Swallow was complaining that it would still result in you having to do all the story quests to catch up. I'm saying it sets you to the job level AND quest completion rate to get started on stormblood right away.

Because the rest of the content is not interesting to them. It's as simple as that. If someone doesn't care for part of the game, that won't change. It's that way over there, it's that way over here.

It's why big time raiders are a huge portion of the sub-unsub-patch-resub group.

Yeah, I love it when companies rip their customers off, makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.
