people who can't stop whining about adding jump are the exact people who are holding the game back
Funny story. It was their desire to emulate and harvest the bounty of Casual players, whom they wished to steal from WoW, and a half finished game that got them the 4.0

This whole mess started with the concept of copying other MMOs and it nearly buried it. The only reason we're still even here is because SE are some stubborn Mofos and refuse to let the game die without another shot. Make no mistake, it was the pursuit of Casual profits by mimicking the current "Standard" MMO mock up that drove throngs of FFXI players away during the big shift. Even if the game was marred by the clunky UI and horrid lag. It would have done famously better if it were more in line with the play style of their previous MMO's player pool.
