Level boosting items on the way

Sorry but no matter how much I think about this, these potions totally seem like Pay to Win. I'm a returning player. I'm pushing through this content, grinding out jobs and trying to experience as much of this game as I can and putting in all that effort. Only here comes Mr. Lv5 noob; "HEY BRAH, *Gulps down P2W potion*, SEE YA AT THE 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.

Then get to buyin'.

I would not stoop to such levels. I'm really not that desparate to reach the new expansion content. However, that crushing feeling that I'm just wasting my time will probably never go away knowing that in the back of my mind this option to skip 75% of the games content with the click of a button actually exists. And I imagine a lot of new players that join this game will also have that same feeling. Not every new player is going to want to skip content. But I don't think they will be as motivated to go through that early content knowing that pretty much everyone has moved onto the new expansion and Square-Enix is dangling a P2W potion in their faces. I wish I didn't stop playing before the heavensward expansion.. Then I would actually be caught up to everyone and this wouldn't feel as bad.

It's only in your head that you feel that way (I swear I don't mean to basically quote Jimmy Eat World, it just applies). Stop basing your experience on someone else's and you'll have a lot more fun.

Look at it this way; when you're all caught up, you can look at all those suckers who paid real money to get to where you got to for free and laugh. Those who buy the potions are just paying to not play the game they pay to play.
