Jumping isn't a crucial mechanic as plenty of good games and MMOs exists without it -- Crucial means "the game can't function without it." You could say that Jumping of players/Mount is a nice system to have but it is in no way important, or else games that have zero jump mechanic whether online or offline would have failed.
oh please. many people's first mmorpg was wow and you could jump, so when these gus move on to next game they will expect some basic features, jump being one of them. not having it will be a step backwards for them. before ffxiv was released i noticed a lot of people complained about no jump. it is just ugly. why do we need a walking and run animation when your character could just slide around? the animation isnt crucial amirite.
