Only here comes Mr. Lv5 noob; "HEY BRAH, *Gulps down P2W potion*, SEE YA AT THE LINE FINISH BRAH *WAVES*". ME: *SPEECHLESS*.. My motivation to keep playing this game is slowly diminishing knowing that there are people literally just skipping 75% of the games content with the click of button. Square-Enix is basically just telling me what I'm doing right now is completely pointless, buy one of these nifty pay 2 win potions and you'll be good.
It would truly be a P2W situation if the Mog Station had the same items that drop in, say, Omega Savage 1-4. *THAT* would truly be P2W. But that's not what's going on here.

All these potions do is catch you up. One sort of potion takes you to Patch 3.0 or 4.0, and the other sort of potion gets a job to level 60. Not 70. There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to catch up to the beginning of Stormblood. They'll have to go through the Stormblood MSQ just like everyone else. Take a look at it this way: once you are done with the MSQ for Patch 3.56, you won't have to worry about being left behind once the expac is released.

If all of this is diminishing your desire to continue playing this game, then maybe this isn't the game for you. I have been playing this game since 2013 and I can honestly say that I've had a great time since then. These "potions" do not affect me in any way, nor should it affect you.
