Why is jumping always associated with WoW?

Why forum goers? Why?

Did blizzard invent jump with the creation of WoW?

I don't understand .

Because anything that WOW has is bad, and it's the first MMO to invent bad things.

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.

I thought emote, call, spell, and song spamming to be much, much more annoying in FFXI. People will always figure something out to do when they're bored.

Still don't understand why jump spamming is so bad, but to each his own.

I kinda hated call too. They were useful to wake someone up who fell asleep because the extremely slow combat system (me), but not for too much else. I know some people who want those calls in FFXIV. They better not be the ones complaining about jump being anoying tho >.>

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

I'm actually all for there being actual differences between the different races. Perhaps if there were some actual benefits and drawbacks to the choices, we wouldn't have the legion of catgirls running around.

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.

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.

I started playing WoW about six months after its release, and playing off and on until Cataclysm, so I'm fairly familiar with the game. While the jumping isn't quite as bad as indicated, it is bad enough to be annoying at times. Dalaran was especially bad once they introduced the mammoth and sparkle pony mounts.

If there are so many catgirls is just coz that race is cool and people like seeing them. if u make hyur to jump highter than lalafell, they can surpass obstacles that others cant, and that is totally unacceptable. they will never benefit a race against other one, so for that reason, forget to see a cool and perfect jump for everybody. someone will jump too low or someone will jump too high, but all races will have the same posibilities.

And that will be totally uncool:

- A Hyur jumping enough high to surpass an obstacle, but the game will not alow him coz visual jump dont fit real jump height
- A Hyur jumping so low that seems.. stupid coz i can jump highter and i am not a Hero.
- A lalafell jumping low but your character allow to surpass a obstacle and your character "cross" through it.
- A lalafell jumping so high that it would seem unrealistic or uncool.

is a hard decision, and not everyone will be happy.

Well, if you've completed some of the Limsa quests, you know that Lalafell have the best 'distance' of all the races already. ^-~

I personally wouldn't mind having FFVII style-jumping.
