    And that is perfectly fine. However it's pretty selfish to say you don't think it should be in the game due to your perception of it being pointless when other people want it. Adding it takes nothing away from you.

    It takes much away from me, it hurts the asthetics of the game, and leads to content where I am forced to use the function wether I want to or not.

    Saying it has no effect on me is naive. I might as well say not having it doesn't effect you, and I'd be just as wrong.

    Only when having a conversation with someone who comes from FFXI will you hear things like jumping makes a video game ugly.

    I played Ultima Online as well, it survived many years without a jump button.

    Yes. And my father used to be fine without the Internet. Your point?

    Ultima Online was released in 1997 dude. Nineteen Ninety Seven.

    Pumpkin helms shouldn't be allowed because it's ruining my experience of realistic aesthetics.

    Sorry, but that excuse doesn't work. And as I already said, saying you don't want jump, because you don't want to have boss encounters where jump in involved tells me you want no challenging content, only tank and spank fights.

    Yup because thats exactly what I said, Challenging content always involves jumping because thats ultra challenging. Make sure I press the jump button at the right time guys!

    Challenge can come from more places than bunny hoping over the greatsword swing of a giant you know right?

    Jumping adds another layer of mechanics that can be implemented. You have stated you don't want to see it because it will affect you in this way. What else can I possibly take from this?

    Tank and spank fights are not challenging. I can't really recall any challenging fights in XI besides gimmick fights. Fights like Dynamis Lord weren't challenging. They were extremely ridiculous since the whole run could be one-shot. That's not a challenge, that's a cheap mechanic. I want situational awareness to be a key to fights. Jumping allows more options for that.

    it would not effect you because you do not have to play the content if you chose not to. now if you CHOSE to play the content you are no forced into jumping. its a mechanic that other want.

    by your analogy, if one group wants to play with a kind of ball and you don't, it effects you because it "takes away from you" what ever that means, "it does not look as good as other balls do to you", and if you want to play with the others that do want it, your forced to play with it. so you would rather there just not be that kind of ball at all. you children seriously need to learn to play nicely with others. stop trying to take the ball from us because you don't want to play with it and you THINK no one else should either.

    to be honest not wanting jump just because you might actually have to do it, is just lazy. might as well do away with pressing any actions at all because I am forced to do so if i want to complete content that is being made. the game should play its self.
