Screw GW2 or Terra and WOW, the lack of jumping is really what will appeal to the masses. Simply genius.
That is the problem right there. You think Jumping is something that HAS to be in an MMO. As if somehow 10 years ago jumping was some kind of unobtainable process. Now that we haz the technology it has to be in everything!

Not having a Jump because the game isn't designed for it does not mean the title is poorly made. It just doesn't factor that feature in as a key aspect of the movement system given to players. Which is a good thing because it is something I enjoyed about both FFXI and FFXIV. The sense of being weight down by the world and not being distracted by people bunny hopping constantly around to save a few precious seconds of going around an obstacle.
