SE Please add jump and swiming

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.

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.

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

Not like Ultima could do anything with jump with the type of graphics it has....

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.

Yup, well put. We can also look at it with existing features in the game like the ifrit fight and the instanced dungeons. If someone doesn't like or want to do them they are not forced to. They can still go and do everything else so it is no reason to penalize everyone for something you don't want to do or use.

No it means I wont be able to go to the playground if I don't use that kind of ball.

You don't get players to come by offering less and bank everything on your unique. You think BMW will come up with a new car, with no AC, no leather interior, no cruise control, no abs, no cup holders, no electric windows and doors but be like well our car looks prettier and realistically think people will come to them? No, you offer standard feature first and then more.

not having those makes that car a unique piece of crap that i wouldn't buy lol

[Onidemon]

No it means I wont be able to go to the playground if I don't use that kind of ball.

That is because you ASSUME that jumping will be NEEDED to play the game or certain aspects but that's only you assuming. Do other mmos force you to use it? I think not.

[Shipp]

No it means I wont be able to go to the playground if I don't use that kind of ball.

No, it means you simply don't play with that ball at the playground, and that analogy doesn't even work for MMOs. The ball analogy did, your branch veering off the beaten path didn't.
