I don't think anyone is "offended" by jumping by itself.

People have already explained specifically in this thread what type of jumping becomes annoying, as is common in WoW, is when there are people who are spamming their jump buttons like rabbits on speed simply because they can't sit still for a second or are trying to get attention.

It's annoying when you're standing still trying to talk to someone, or going through inventory, and someone is jumping around you in circles non-stop purely to get your attention.

It's annoying when you're in the middle of a tough quest or dungeon where aggro could mean death and some guy with a twitchy jump finger is hopping all over the damn place.

And then of course, there's when you get a bunch of chronic hoppers in one place, they see one person do it, so they join in... next thing you know it's Bouncy Castle time...

The remark at about 1:50 in this video kinda sums it up well... and humorously.

I have no issue with a jump key being in the game. I don't think one is necessary, but I'm not opposed or "offended" to it being there. It's more what will happen when hyper-active people who can't sit still get access to it that I'm concerned about.

I seriously hope SE puts limitations in place that prevents people from spamming it.
