To try and help clarify with anyone planning to post about this in the thread but don't want to read everything thus far:
There has been talk and mention of the Devs wanting to bring the chinese exclusive 'Jump Potions' over to the other regions. Reasons for this are justified but some of it can be detrimental to a community.Â

The Jump potions are as follow:
Jump potion [Job]: The job that is picked is leveled up to 50 (60 in Stormblood) with roughly entry level armor for content of the new expansion and some pocket change (like 2-3k Gil which is not even enough to explot), meaning you will need to buy one of each class to gain all levels (Aside from Red Mage and whatever else is added in Stormblood)
However you do not skip over the MSQ unless you buy the other available potion-
MSQ Skip: The Main Story Skip potion will skip the character past through all the Main Story Quest content up to 2.45 (or in Stormblood 3.45), unlocking all that would be unlocked through the quest line like dungeons or features. It DOES NOT give you levels. It compensates with some Gil (No exact amount but guessing maybe 100k?) that you would of obtained through the quest line. This is SEPARATE from the leveling potions.

F.A.Q
Q: Why are they adding this?
A: As of this post it may not happen but our guess is because of how the MMO market changed overtime, not many players are willing to level up alt classes like ye old MMO days. Blame the market or the new generation of gamers but leveling is a chore a lot of the time.

Q: What's the point?
A: Some players may not have as much freetime as others and will either become fustrated when a friend of theirs managed to level up ten times faster or obtained all endgame gear while they are still level 54 and going through Heavensward content. Thus making them drop out and thus loosing players.
As for the individual level potions? Stated above, some players don't have time to just grind out the levels and wish to just enjoy current content at entry rather than sit through hours of ques and running around.
Q: "Oh Great, more bad players..."
A: If this is your attitude to obtaining more players then I both get you but also feel bad. While it is inevitable that there are players who still don't know how to PLD or SCH right, they are still having fun and it's a game. In today's world, a lot of how to play instructions are everywhere if they look. And if they don't that is where YOU come in! That mentor crown you got is a flag saying you are willing to help them learn about the game.
some players will be open to learning, others will be rude and want to play how they want. It's life and it happens.Â
Q: OMFG NUUU! FF14 EEZ DEDZ!
A: Crying about people skipping levels to enjoy the relevant content is just a shame. Yes, it is sad that players could just skip all the pre-required content we all may of sat through, waiting for those months of new patches and turns but they are not getting any power nor are they getting free top end raid gear with fully maxxed relic weapon. They are merely buying another means to get STARTED.Â
Keyword being STARTED as in they still have to do the grind of whatever is relevant at the time. And if they don't then they will lag behind.
Q: You shouldn't pay for the MSQ skip. Have it be an option
A: I agree. It's stupid -_-
If i miss any common complaints/general questions please message. My post is not meant to be malicious, just trying to clear the air a bit for those now reading.
