Why is jumping always associated with WoW?

Unfortunatly thats alot of speculation, and still doesn't alieve peoples concerns about people being totall asshats with the function.

Well theres really no reason to add jump if it served no purpose besides lifting your character off the ground. I surely dont want a useless jump. I want a mfkin Disadea FF jump!~

What I want to know is why some people find jumping so offensive lol. Its like "Did... Did that guy just jump? Did that guy just...jump? WHAT THE $%&*!!!! %&*-!!!!!!!! %&*%&*&$&!!!!!!!! *censor censor* */blist add jumping offendor*" lol I just picture these people screaming at their screens... xD!!!!

Maybe because wow is the best example of the jump feature gone wrong? I played eq for years and never remember anyone trying to grief me by leapfrogging over or around me repeatedly. Its not the feature itself, but rather if the playerbase is mature enough to use it properly. Apparently in wow they are not.

jump is really hard to animate, they can animate it decently and cool, but for that, lalafell need to jump much less than Roegadyn... and that would violate any kind of equality between races.

So they have to do it in a way all races jumps same height.. and that will be HARD to be cool animated

World of Warcraft has a really stupid jump animation, and it seems like the majority of the population there can't help but spam it nonstop.

The funny thing is that this is the image that people have about jumping in WoW. (^_^ ) In reality it's not the majority of the players that jump non-stop. Only a handful at best.

From now on we will refer to Jumping based on Dark Age of Camelot (DAoC) seeing as that's the MMO Yoshi is most familiar with.

No one complaining about WoW actually played it extensively. It's like logging in right after a content patch or expansion and complaining the towns are crowded or a new mount is added that blows over in a few days.
