Jumping in a MMORPG looks unbelievable stupid

Not really. At least, not if the character animations are good.

and mechanics-wise it can easily be replaced with the ability to climb and drop down higher cliffs.

Eh... depends. Most of the time, yes, but there are certain things that can only be done with a designated jump button. Plus let's not forget that adding climbing would probably be far more complicated to implement and take longer to program than a simple jump button.

There's no other reason to demand the ability to jump with such insistence than to be able to abuse it.

If I wanted a platformer, I'd submit myself to the utter torture of playing super mario.

Torture? Mario is one of the single greatest video game franchises ever created!

Oh, you did? Well. Good thing [Tetra Master's] still there......Where it belongs.

Actually no, it's not there anymore. Tetra Master got shutdown at the end of 2010.

Considering that a large percentage of the characters in the game wear/wield heavy armor and cumbersome weapons, no matter how well the animations are made, it still looks extremely silly. And it did in basically every single MMORPG I played that included it.

There already is climbing in the game, both up and down. It's just extremely limited in height difference. Raise that limit to head level, and every problem is solved. It'd be even more convenient than jumping, because you don't have to press any button. Walk to the ledge and drop down, or press against the cliff and climb up.

Easy, convenient, and looks less idiotic.

What the hell do you have against Super Mario!?!?!? You're like pure Satan Incarnate!

I find the whole series aestetically jarring, the story unbelievably stiupid and the characters absolutely irritating. And I dislike platformers with a passion. You know, tastes.

Tastes? Ha! Only thing you have taste for is what you're slurpin' buddy.

You're very much entitled to your opinion, buddy

Yeah, like all those dragoons in all those other Final Fantasy titles. What goofs.

Much more realistic to be stopped by a one foot tall ledge, anyway. No one could possibly surmount that in real life... You'd have to be an Olympic athlete or something.
