I still don't understand why everyone is so hung up over having jump in this game. This isn't World of Warcraft and it should try to emulate it either. There is no area I've seen in this entire game that jump would benefit me moving around in - in fact it'd probably make it frustrating.

Just forget about jump, there are way more pressing matters in this game. Like Taru_TwoPoint0 said if you want a game with jump, go play one with jump.
