I understand that players are anti-potion, because of the bad players that it can create, but the truth is, bad players have always been here. This game has given us options on how to combat the players that are bad and dont want to improve, this option is: Vote Kick.

If a newcomer wants to spend his/her money to skip alot of the game and prevent themselves from enjoying the ARR/HW storyline, then this is their choice. I had a potion user in my party few days ago, he was bad, like BLM that never used Fire IV/Blizzard IV etc. bad. I gave him advice, even asked the tank to pull 1 small group so the BLM could practice. He refused to accept our help, BLM did not care about his preformance, did not care about the group and was fine with being carried. So we took the next action and booted his ass out!

Simple realy, if you think they are bad, kick them out. Its called playstyle differences, GM agreed that this is a valid reason.
