Some of the world first, top raiders bought their accounts. I know of people who sold their accounts that ended up in PVPers' hands.
Since the jump potion isn't going to put you at the latest content, does it matter? Not in my opinion.
I'd rather not include things that encourage the bad aspects of this game to get worse, imo.
These services are already available.
They are just illegal, expensive, and unsafe.
In introducing jumps, Square Enix (and Blizzard before them) undercut the market - even if not in price, then at least in "your account will not be compromised or rendered illegal by this measure" terms.
It takes control of the "bad" aspects of the game out of the hands of illicit, illegal, TOS-breaking businesses and places it back with the game's developers.
No one who's interested in levelling or questing the long way around will be swayed by a jump potion that still costs them $50. But people who would otherwise break the TOS to accomplish these things might be - that's the important thing here.
(And people like me, who aren't interested in breaking the TOS but who don't feel they're getting the most out of their subscription because THEY HAVE TO DO 2.0 MSQ EIGHT MORE TIMES AND UGH, will be happier.)
