Remove 60 Boosts for New Players

[Zayedan]

Please remove it for new players and make it only available for accounts with a Max lvl job.

1- its killing the endgame and Duty Finder groups, the noobs can learn to play the way we did in ARR. its REALLY becoming more frustrating now more than POTD noobs getting to max level.
2- Most noobs who buy it, dont stay for long, easy get easy go. they get to 70 in less than 5 days, get bored and stop subbing.
3- its an RPG, they should take the time and appreciate the game as we did, these people take it all for granted.
4- stop being greedy this is not WOW, alot of us left WOW because of this level boost back in Cataclysm

We all wish for this, at least those of us who stick around after the part-timers leave. SE is making money though so it won't go away any time soon.

The only thing I'd like to see is relic gear that would work like heirloom items for leveling new classes, you still had to level a main in order to Get that bonus xp

I totally agree with you. My friend is level 37 while doing level 20 main scenario quests

Boost or no boost players who choose not to "Get good" won't. Just because someone doesn't like the leveling aspect of the game doesn't automatically make them a bad player for purchasing their boost. The game gives you an option to learn your role upon using your boost but not everyone jumps in. I recall horrible players reaching end game back before the boost was available too. What was the excuse back then? PoTD and potions weren't always available, you know. Those of us who choose to learn our class and play correctly will always do so while the others just want to play their way because we "don't pay their sub fee."

This. All of this. There are tons of bad players that existed prior to the jump pots.... stop blaming the pots for lazy people who just won't learn their job, whether they level it the hard way or not.

Seriously, it's like veteran FFXIV players are baby boomers getting angry at all of the "millennials".

"How jump potion users are killing endgame raiding!"

FATEs, the excuse back then was FATEs

The whole idea was for new comers to get to experience the expansion with friends they joined because of. I think the expansion has been out long enough to say that trend has died down.

You know I was one of the people that actually supported the idea of jump potions, it makes it easier for newer people to get to end game content quicker, easier for me while leveling alts, not to have to go through that whole thing 35 times.

Having more people at end game, should normally be a fantastic idea, especially on lower populated servers. You would find people at all times of the day to play with, as well as a lot of like minded people. But in this case I do was wrong, because by now it makes me, as stated in the duty finder thread and other topics, not even want to play the game anymore, or at least not on a job that I previously enjoyed.

I spend more time abandoning duties, no matter if dungeon/trial/Xprimals or even regular raid, then actually playing the game itself. Sure it's most likely not 95% of the player base, that can't play the game, but it's a good chunk of people that used these potions, and have no idea what they are doing, nor are they even trying to find out.

It's a sad day, when we need to ask, that these potions get removed and only added to veteran accounts or people that have leveled already a level 60/70 using the regular method. But to be honest, I don't see that happening, it's a good chunk of money SE can make that way, and let's face it, with every veteran/old customer lost, they are gaining two or more new customers, therefore it's still a good business method for them and most likely not something that's changing soon. But I would love to see it.
