Naoki Yoshida's Comment in Regard to Jump Potions/Boost Potions

[Konata_Izumi]

as someone who leveled everything to 60, i can tell you now, there is no reason to have a level jump potion, i know how to play my classes because i leveled them, why take that away from us who level, and grind everything? Whats next? Come out with Final fantasy 16, but you can just opt out of actually playing the challenge, and skip to the end credits and get the certificate of completion? really?

I played WOW, the increase of horrible players was tenfold, children maxing their character to max level and then not knowing how to play it, just spamming buttons and hoping to do a little damage, this is really horrible... You didnt do this in Final Fantasy 11, why do it to 14? WHY?

One last point:

Pay to win?

Pay to win what exactly? It's not to 70. It'd be to the ass-end of Heavensward, and the gear they receive is just tome gear anyone can get! You've a really weird definition of winning if you think i260 gear at the start of an expansion -- that'd be outdated by halfway through the expansion -- is winning.

Absolute nonsense. Several other ways to alleviate these problems could have been implemented, they just weren't as cash grabby.

Exactly this. There is a great number of ways mentioned by the community and none were cash grabby.

Whatever answer I give you'll just brush over, so why do you care?

Because I am genuinely curious how, in any way, it could affect you. We already have Palace of the Dead's 51st floor allowing players with a Level 1 Class (or untouched Level 30 HW Job) to be Level 60 the moment they enter. We already have some pretty terrible players in this game, but we also have some pretty decent, if not, fantastic players (it's just easier to talk about the worst runs we have because psychology). I personally believe nothing will change when it comes to the level boost potion. If someone uses it, then chances are they will either try to learn how to play it, they're on an alt, or they'll be bad (basically, nothing changes). A story skip potion will also change nothing. If you enjoy the story, you have nothing to worry about.

RMT's will never use these as it's a loss for them, not a profit.

Weeping City has not been nerfed.

I bet you played as a Forsaken Retribution Paladin, didn't you?

yes. or you will never reach let's say vanu beast tribe, alexander entrance, dozens of gathering points, some hunt mobs (depends on where they spawn), some treasure maps... GATHERING POINTS...

[Clawbriar]

warlock actually.

Good thing you looked that up, you would've looked really stupid then.

Even then, win WHAT? This isn't like you're buying something that can beat another player. Bar the possible influx of people learning their class... they're not beating/affecting you in any way.
