Jumping Risk Assessment

[Jennestia]

The only way to answer how it could improve the quality and "fun" of the game is to bring up situations in which it would if they were added. Jumping itself wouldn't make the game instantly better either way. It has the potential to make it "better" based on what the jumping is used for and what content could be created to suit it.

So in essence, it's the same line of thinking other people have with other suggestions that get shot down because they're thinking long term rather than in the now?

Jennestia, those who think jump will add to the game haven't made the argument that it will instantly make the game better compared to the addition of actual content

When you read between the lines, those who are pro-jump seem to make it seem like the most important thing they can add to this game, because they're the loudest group of supporters -- the louder you are about a subject the more important you're making it out to be.

No, but I've heard plenty of people complain when they find out they can't jump in a game.

Yeah, much like there's groups of people complaining you can't shoot in a x,y,z game either simply because a lot of games lately have a shooting mechanic of some kind. Certain designs just become so commonplace that it'll always be a con no matter how good or bad the game itself is if it lacks said feature.
