The fact is is that it is not needed and MANY people believe that it will negatively impact their game experience because it WILL turn Final Fantasy into just another MMO with people hopping around in towns.
That's not a fact, that's an opinion. Even a widely held opinion (not sure if that's the case here) != fact.

If you can't understand that then that is your own short coming.
And yet just a few sentences ago you say:
Insulting people for their opinion is unjustified. That is called an ad hominem attack and is really like bullying.
and then:
It is impossible to expect anyone to respect anyone else's opinion. Especially in an MMO forum.
There seems to be a conflict of interest here!

There are many that do not want people bunny hopping all over town for various reasons.

It is very sad people say that they will make a video or jump around to annoy people.

I really hope that they do read some of these posts and realize what a HUGE mistake they are making if they add jump with no restrictions or limitations.

Many people do not want a duplication of other features of MMO's without justification.
If someone wants to hop around like an idiot, they're free to do so. It's no less annoying than people spamming /laugh emotes in camps or in the city.

Like it or not, waaaaaay back when this game was just released, there was a poll that asked about jumping. The majority of players said they wanted it in the game. So that's what we're getting.
