    I'm not even the one asking the developers for something that requires a lot of programming to begin with.
    It's irrational though. Why would they allow you to block someone partaking in a system of their own creation? Now THAT is asinine.

    The chat system is their own creation, so why should they allow you to block someone partaking in chat just because you don't like how they are using the chat system? No, I am being quite rational because I'm not forcing anyone into anything, YOU are.

    Something to add from what you said previously, that is a negative situation because allowing you to block these people completely over this addition is perpetuating an option that allows segregation over feelings that are completely irrational. Allowing you to block them justifies these ridiculous feelings.

    This cannot be compared to the chat system because words can be offensive. Therefor, someone who is using speech that offends you can be remedied by the user very quickly by blacklisting them. This isn't the same as jumping, as I just said, you cannot block people completely over your irrational feelings against looking at jump in it's simple form.

    The developers created it for the game, for players to use, the only solution to escape this is to stop paying and to stop playing because you don't believe in paying for a service that offends you. No matter how irrational that may be.

    It is the same thing. Maybe some people really don't care about being offensive, and yeah they can hide it. Hence why there are such things as M+rated linkshells (yes, they do exist for us since we understand that the mass majority of the userbase isn't mature enough to handle offensive language or concepts).

    But at the end of the day, your hypocrisy is appalling to say the least. People want jump in the game so they can enjoy it their way, but when it comes to being able to turn the animation off so that other people can enjoy the game their way, you're not even willing to support it and instead you have to balk against it for some asinine reason.

    Just given what you said, being able to filter out chat and the like is on the same level as wanting to being able to filter out jumping, because you're blocking out something they created, unless the chat system was designed by someone else?

    People of this community is all for freedom of choice and someone's choice is wanting to block out jump animations, why is that not ok, but freedom in everything else is?

    Using the chat system as a comparison to block jumping is an incredibly poor argument. The need to edit chat and block certain characters is to evade something more damaging than a jump animation.

    Also, "freedom in everything else", what exactly? You have the freedom to ignore people's speech. Yes, but what else? Look, I'm not arguing this to push my own agenda. I'm just pointing out common sense. You cannot block flashy animations that were created. You cannot block really any animations other than physics, but that is to relieve system performance.
