I'd sooner have an option to skill 'irrelevant' dumb MSQ quests. I don't care about anything up to 2.4/2.5 for the most part. I wish we could indeed get some item just to skip all those quests and go into Ishgard asap we hit 50. That would be my preference. An option for people who level alts to just skip all that nonsense. I don't care about the XP loss.
Surely, it makes missing out on the storyline a bit, and I do think 'new players' shouldn't be granted this option. But I feel this game could use some more alt friendliness in that regard. However, I do think thinning out those dumb MSQ quests who add little to nothing to the story ought to be removed. Even for people who didn't have to endure it to begin with. It doesn't set a good example for the game to begin with. We all know how tedious it was, even doing it for the first time. But that's my personal opinion.
As for legit jumping potions? As an RPer? AWESOME. As someone who likes to do PvE from time to time? Less awesome. You will get a bunch of people just popping the potion, not having a clue what to do with their class. While this is fine for roleplay, I don't like dumb folk in my dungeons. Granted, those same people would probably have done the same if they had to level from the start that class, seeming some just fate grinded their characters up, especially back in the days, and still feel entitled to not learn their class and just be carried, because its their 13 per month.
So ultimately, I don't think much will change in that regard. But as a roleplayer, urgh, yes please. I'd love to just skip that whole damn MSQ up to Ishgard at least. But perhaps only make it so you can only boost one job class up per character? And obviously don't allow it to be used for DoH/DoL classes.
