Uhhh... your definition would allow SE to sell any item in the game at cost, while maintaining that FFXIV isn't P2W. After all, it's not like you can't get BiS gear without spending money!

The vastly more accepted definition for P2W is selling services for money that render an advantage in-game over someone who didn't spend money. A level boost definitely qualifies there. It's not a SIGNIFICANT advantage, but it's an advantage nonetheless. I maintain my statement is an accurate assessment of a leveling potion.
