I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment, but FFXIV is all but handing out a leveling potion as is, anyway. Leveling is far too easy, and doesn't teach you how to properly play your job in and of itself.

Were this FFXI, I'd agree. Leveling to 75 there (pre-Abyssea) really taught you how to play, and if you were a moron, parties would quickly stop inviting you as word of mouth got around. In that scenario, a leveling potion would be an absurdly bad idea. In FFXIV, it's more just distasteful. I don't like the idea of having a pay-money-to-win button. But I don't think it's going to do much to worsen the skills of an already-weak pool of players at level cap.
