You know one of the main reasons people jump in WoW besides being bored and can't think of nothing better to do than jump around town? Fluidity, the game moves so fluidly and the jump feels so light and good you just can't help yourself by spamming the space bar. Plus something about smashing that space bar is addictive on a primal level, lol.
I have played WoW for 5 years, and I HAVE to say that he's right.

I have known a lot of hardcore raiders in my day, people that LIVE in Azeroth.

All of them, at one time or another, has wasted hours trick jumping to pose on streetlamps, archways, statues- JUST to impress lowbies and guildies.
  1. Jumping in combat isn't cowardly, it is a skill.
  2. Jumping is the quickest way to emote joy in a primal way.
  3. The more freedom given to the player, the better.

Limitation where freedom of movement is concerned is a buzzkill for any game, IMO. I'm not trying to say that jumping has a direct correlation to the success of a community, but there IS a connection!

I'm a noob, but I love this game. I will support it well into 2.0 if Squee delivers the goods!
