People don't know how to take criticism anymore, and bad play is rewarded with with a coddling mentality. Yes, this is a casual game for the most part - that doesn't mean people need to walk on eggshells in fear of getting reported for pointing out things. This whole 'please don't say anything even slightly negative' mentality that we seem to be going towards and the devs seemingly pushing towards it is creating a disturbing trend.
Honestly, I think that the jump potion should cost about £50 billion for every single level or every single quest you pay to skip. So 10 levels = £500 billion. Simply put, if you pay to skip, then you've lined up Square Enix's pockets for months!
White Mage ~ Scholar ~ PaladinBoi if you got kicked for the same thing in over 20 duties I strongly suggest you think hard on whatever the hell it is you're doing
As I'm sure you are well aware, it takes more than one person to be able to kick a player from a duty, so in all those instances there were at least two people agreeing they'd be better off without you tanking.
Ok, now tell us how you really feel.
I'm willing to wager these potions will be untradable/market prohibited.
How I really feel, that they shouldn't exist. Given how intricate the story is in FFXIV and how it is the mainstay of progression in this game (unlike WoW where the story is just... there, but it doesn't envelop your character's progression), a story jump potion wouldn't work, and by its nature nor would a level skip. That's my thoughts anyway.

There's no situation were it won't work if you take a look at every side of the coin. Now if you're basing pure on lore than I do agree the potion would not make any sense, but going by that logic, fantasia as an example makes even less sense. With that said tho, and I don't want to argue with you about your feelings, some people do not care about the story of the game.How I really feel, that they shouldn't exist.

Most of the times people join games that are "hot" or "new" on the market knowing that it has a decent and active player base compared to much older games or f2p titles. Others just joined because their friends asked them too and all they want to do is, being part of the endgame (don't need story/lore for that one). Anyways it's fine to have an opinion and nothing wrong with that, but that goes for both sides.
Unless your someone like me who has been skipping the story since Shiva was introduced cus I could care less about the story. I play cus its fun, not because I want to see how Alphinaud and Minfillia are doing and hoping they strive to do whatever they do.How I really feel, that they shouldn't exist.

Responses like this remind me of the old guy on his porch yelling at kids who are listening to music outside that they are ruining his day and how "darn kids have no respect these days"
You really want to prevent new players from getting to play the game and then the game will continue to bleed players without replacing them? If the answer is yes then keep up this attitude that makes you sound like a crotchety old man intolerant of seeing things differently
That's actually further than I'd suspect. I'd wager there's quite a large number of people skipping everything since they started.
