I really don't see the point of forcing players to go through it if they don't want to. The main fear is that we would get a legion of lvl60 players popping up with no clue at all how to play their class... Well, it's already the case even without jump potions anyway. Why would you need to do at least once the MSQ to 60? To be knowledgeable about your class? That's moot, the next alt or job you will level up with the jump potion will probably be another one anyway. Except if it's of the same role, you will be as brand as new, especially with a full 60 skillset. So, if not that, what then? To have witnessed the story at least once? Why would you shove that down the throat of people if they don't wanna?
The problem is not so much people that don't know how to play their classes (they will learn in time, just like that huge flow of bad DRKs at lvl30 that never tanked in their life when 3.0 released), but the lazy, the idiots and the people willingly refusing to play by the rules. Those, you will get no matter what, and no matter what you do, they will not learn or change.
Now then, I heard wow offers trials and challenges to clear before letting their newly jumped players into the wild.
But my main fear is that, if we don't get jump potions, we will continue to get that endless trainwreck of people bitching and whining about how long and tedious cutscenes and quests and stuff are. They are toxic to the story itself, since they aren't interested in it. This is a whole different kind of people than just us being dissatisfied with the story, being critical and whatnot. It's about this huge part of players that just don't want to have anything to do with it. If they want out of the story I say, let them do. All the better for us.
