The difference is; abilities have a use even if they are sometimes not used correctly, emotes are used as a form of expression and can even be used to communicate across language barriers, they are also not assigned to a button on the keyboard.I find this rather pathetic really. We've got characters jumping out of visiual spectrum as a game mechanic, yet we can't have it as a bit of fun.
Should my Jump and Elusive jump both have a filter too. Because I can randomly jump on a weak monster and kill it just for fun. Or elusive jump straight into your crowd.
How about Leg Sweep? I don't need a target for that, just TP, and I can generate that with Invigorate.
Speaking of invigorate. It's annoying to watch people buff in towns, we should be able to turn that off too.
Emote usage as well. I should have to see anyone cheer or wave or any of that - too annoying, it can be spammed!
Normal game jumping is in the above categories, and if they're so annoying that you need a filter for ANY of them, I suggest you toggle the game off.
Jump has no purpose and will be easily spammable and more visible than emotes.
Another point is; while running, if you use an emote you don't see the action, you just see the text in the chat log, however I'm pretty sure if someone is hitting jump while running, they will still be visibly jumping, so that is how they differ.
I don't know why anyone would bring up DRG's jump to being with. DRG and LNC for the most part throughout FF history always has a jump command, why would you toggle off the animation of a job ability? May as well toggle off every battle action then.
Plenty of games have emote toggles, kind of funny when you think about how people want XIV to be standard but will fight against an emote toggle. (Having no use but to jump pretty much guarantees it's basically an emote.)
Spamming jump, eh? One could say that lala's spamming of /laugh is just as annoying, if not more.
The only people against jump are pple from XI. It's the only place where you couldn't jump and they just can't stand it for some reason. It seems that they came to the conclusion that jumping is the only thing setting XI appart from the game they hate the most... WOW.

Cool story bro.
Ironically, XI wasn't the first nor only MMO that lacked Jump. Talk shit at least get facts correct about MMOs with certain mechanics.
I mean, I played XI for 10 years, I also played FLYFF (you jump AND fly..how about that?), Space Cowboy (You fly..), Rapplez, WoW, EQ1,2, GW, Tera, Eden Eternal and Rusty Hearts...yet I don't care for jump..are you going to say because I play FFXI is the reason I don't care for jump? :P

Forumites: EVERY OTHER MMO HAS JUMP, UNREALISTIC IF CAN'T JUMP! WANT IMMERSION JUMP, GIVE US NOW!!!
Devs: But we've built a game where you don't need to jump.
Forumites: GIVE NOW OR /RAGEQUIT!!!
Devs: sigh... Ok, we got it working for 2.0. But please understand that it will not have an impact on gameplay. Its just for your immersion.
Forumites: WTF DEVS!?! WE GET JUMP AND IT NOT DO NOTHING??! MAKE IT HAVE REASON FOR JUMP!! GIVE US JUMP ZONE FOR MARIO ACTION GAMEPLAY, MAKE FOR BATTLE JUMPING!
Devs: orz, why do we even bother?![]()
