Only on a Final Fantasy Forum...

Wow, I didn't mean to make you cry practically.

Anyway, from my perspective, the resistance to jumping in Final Fantasy is much greater than anywhere else. I've yet to encounter such behaviour before. It's quite striking.

Making an informed point that counters yours has very little relation with crying.

Maybe you don't visit many beta forums or don't take part in many betas (which is quite comparable to the state FFXIV is in, considering that very few features of the game are set in stone). The discussions on jumping here are nowhere out of the norm.

Also, Final Fantasy is an intellectual property with a little more history than most others, which tends to create more strongly rooted positions about what is appropriate or not to the franchise. If you think this is serious, you must have missed the endless discussions on the most pointless details in the forums dedicated to star trek online, or warhammer online, or DC Universe, or star wars galaxies first and SWTOR now (all IPs that have a history comparable or even deeper than FF). Let's not even get into LOTRO.

Many people seem to think that they can't live unless they cant spam spacebar, many people hate to see those spamming spacebar. The two groups tend to collide. That's all there's to it.

@trinta: lovely signature. I've seen quite a few people around here that are ok with the idea of discussion only when they have no opposition or they're winning it
