Meh. I'm mostly indifferent to it. Would I prefer that everyone play through the story? Sure, I think it's a good story (for the most part) and is worth doing. But to be fair, not everyone has that much time to play, period. Because there is a LOT of story, and in 2.0 and 2.x, there really is a LOT of filler. So if someone just can't play more than a few hours a week, but really wants to play the game, who am I to tell that guy, tough, don't play this game then? It's not what I would do in their situation, I'd just suck it up and play through the thing - but then, I also am routinely able to play considerably more than an hour per night if I want to devote most of a given night to the game. So it's easier for me to just say, just suck it up and take the time.

I'm not too concerned about the level booster either, since A) they're only allowing one per account (at least, for now), and B) despite the absence of a boost potion, it's not like we don't have plenty of people who have no earthly clue how to play their class as it is. Don't think the boost potion will change that very much, honestly.

I honestly don't get the mentality of: "Wow this game seems really good, I am absolutely going to play- Wait, a BOOST potion? I'm out." Baffling.

Thought this thread (and your post) was mainly about the Jump Potions, or possible "pay-to-win" implications. But from the bolded, it sounds like you think there shouldn't be a cash shop at ALL if you have that big a problem with people paying for purely cosmetic things such as emotes and mounts?

Which, if you really do think there should be no cash shop at all, then hey, sure. That's a valid opinion to have. Silently judging someone and calling them a "moron" in your head because they choose to spend their money in a way you disapprove of, however, is pretty much a douchebag maneuver.
