No, you're not. This is a subscription-based game, which means you're paying for access time to play. FFXIV doesn't actually have a skip potion; you're actually paying for auto-complete potion that saves you time from having to manually do them. You're not skipping anything other than most side quests and having to actually do the quests later like in WoW, for example, if you actually want those earlier quests done.
