See I would be all for this if they had a limitation on how many a character can utilize. If its meant to get 'New Players' introduced to their friends quicker then I'm all for it with said limitation. I'm not OK with someone just buying a bunch of these potions getting all their classes to 50 (60 with Stormblood) and cheating the experience either. It wont keep them around longer it'll just be a boost to revenue so lets just be honest for the sake of being Honest.
This is a Money Grab more then it is to Help New Players get through the Boring MSQ or the Grind which in return I see how most of the Veteran Players are peeved by this. They've had to grind all their classes to 50, they had to grind them to 60. To see someone who's new and has plenty of cash on hand just jump their classes to 50 / 60 is a cheapened experience for those who had to go through the grind. On the Reverse you have Casual's (and I say that in a nice way) that cannot dedicate much time that seem to be more then fine with this, which is easier for them to swallow because they couldn't dedicate the time that the more 'Hardcore' players could (which i'm not saying that to elevate them either). In the end by not limiting the amount one can buy is a really bad idea. It opens the Mog Store to other game 'enhancing' items that can be purchased later on when the Mog Store (when it was originally launched) was only meant to be cosmetic.
I think telling people they shouldn't 'Cry' over this is a bit unfair. You have two different types of gamers here. Those who dedicate a lot of time to RP and PVE and those who dedicate more time to RP and less time to PVE. The perspectives are different and its just not fair to point fingers either way.Â
My vote (as I expressed in the thread Yoshi-P posted) is there should be a Limitation placed on how many of these you can buy (Per Character) if its truly to just help NEW players get atleast one class past the MSQ... or to Pass the Grind.
My Usage of the Term Casual and Hardcore is only being used to describe the amount of time dedicated to PVE content its not meant to be taken as an Insult or rise the other above. Just a quick way to demonstrate dedication to PVE content.
