Why is jumping always associated with WoW?

FFXIV is a lot more action oriented

That's not true. FFXIV is not 'a lot more' action oriented and thats good.

It's not a secret that he's trying to copy some 'succesful' features from other MMO's. And the game definitly needs to be redesigned if they want to add swimming and climbing.

As I said, i'm fine with half meter high jumps with a cooldown or something. Thats okay and realistic. If they add big jumps and change the game physics that will change the entire game feeling, so many players will be unhappy with those changes.

WoW standard and FF standard is something very different. I hate WoW because it's not the type of game i like. I have a reason to play FFXIV and not because it's something new and has shiny graphics. They should implement content and story instead of waste their time with copying terrible 'standard MMO' things
