    Fall damage was a random addition during beta, when the devs were still imagining making a mmorpg with relevant open world.
    Now we know that open world is as good as dead, and fall damage in instanced content has been dropped too (in the dungeon Hullbreaker Isle, there is this cliff where players got down to 1 hp, wait for heal, continue... it was stupid, so they removed the damage from falling)

    PvP is the only content where fall damage still matter, but it shows how the devs backtracked on it since it's really prominent only in Secure (the oldest frontline map).

    Fall damage should just be removed at this point because its relevance is so random.

    Also, from a simple design point of view, pushing player away (without damage) is already a very strong action.
