How to implement jumping in a way that will make everyone happy. (hint: Zelda-style)

I only want jump for better role play. As well as swim. I also know content can be added for jump and swimming, which the game needs.

Auto jumping is be horrific at times. I can't tell you how often in zelda and ffxiii I ended up in jump loops. Meaning due to off putting camera angles i went back and forth between 2 or more platforms. I think ppl hate jump only because of WoW and every ffxi player seems to hate WoW. I played the game, and would prob be playing it now till fffxiv hit ps3 (even if i fixmy pc no way of knowing ffxiv will run on my pc) anyway, I rarely seen these "bunny hoppers" ppl complain about.

And personally i don't care. They are not doing anything to me personally. Infact if/when I did run into one I just laugh. Sorry but taking a game to seriously is pretty crappy. It ruins the fun of the game wheb ppl get uppity about everything you do.

What surprises me is, ppl claim to hate spam jumpers, but no one said anything bad anout emote spammers. Would someone doing /dance 4 a lot look off

Hehe, yeah, I agree. I think sometimes that the only reason FF players supposedly hate jumping is because WoW has jumping, and the FF people need a reason to hate WoW, and jumping just happens to be their scapegoat, their excuse that they use to justify their stance.

But the truth is that jump-spammers in WoW are nowhere near as common as the FF fanboys would have us all believe, and even when you do encounter a jump-spammer, they're no more annoying than the /dance4 spammers you see so much in FFXI, which no one ever seems to complain about.

But nevertheless, these people are paying customers too, and I'm certainly not going to say SE should ignore the desires of their customers (that's what got them into this mess in the first place). So I think a compromise is the best solution.
