Jump Fatigue {Can I Have It}

[Ark_mage2]

There are people who when asking about the status of this game ask about jump. To many current non-FFXIV players its lack of jump in this day and age is a sign of its lack of direction and inability to compete. If the lack of jumping was a deal breaker for any FFXIV players there would have and did already leave by now, along with the 90% of other players who have left. Also, the zones are being redesigned, and I am sure that part of that redesign will end up factoring in the jumping mechanic. It is not a coincidence that the redesign and jumping are both on the to do list. SE isn't going to pointlessly implement jumping, and it isn't going to harm the playerbase in either the short or long term.

Good point Ark_Mage2, new blood needs to be added to this game.

What these restrictive, elite player type ppl don't realize is. By restricting the game to the point where ppl are not interested in it restricts FFXIV to appeal to only a niche group of ppl.

We cannot hope for FFXIV to grow in population and appeal to more players if features are not added that will draw in new players. That either potentially left because of lack of features or never joined because of lack of features.

Arguing about every "new" feature that comes along is only further putting FFXIV into an early grave. IF WE DONT GET MORE PLAYERS to come to FFXIV. Then you might as well stop playing now because XIV has only 6 months or less to live.

Open your mind and learn new things. It is what XIV needs to survive. And if you enjoy the game now to stick with it. You should be glad the Developers realize this and are making attempts to make the game more popular and fun to play.
