I find the anti jump people really childish. I mean really your going to rage on the forum about them adding a new feature to the game? I find its the same group of people that rage over any new addition to the game that wasn't in FFXI, be in content finder, new instances, hamlets not being like besieged what have you. If it was up to you guys there would be no new features in the game.

Some people should just get over themselves and grow up and stop whining about every little new addition to FFXIV. All this rage from some people about having a simple jump feature is just ridiculous.

I don't see any other game community continue complain about having a jump feature, for example go check out Swtor or Aion, or WoW forums I bet you can't find a single topic complaining how there is jumping in those games.

You don't see people complaining about jumping in those games because they have a purpose.

Then we should be arguing that jumping should serve a purpose, not for a toggle or to cut it out completely. To forego jumping in a frickin 2012 mmo isn't going to fly. People won't be lenient when you are explaining to them "well some people think it's annoying and the game doesn't need it..." People around here need a reality check.

Devs: But we've built a game where you don't need to jump.

They haven't. Which is why people complained about it so much at launch when you had to run around every tiny hill you saw, and still complain about not being able to traverse 1 foot high walls like the one in totorak. They've alleviated the problem by making it so you can just slide up and down hills but to leave the game like that screams of laziness and ruins immersion just as much or more than a case of someone incessantly jumping would.

It's a temporary fix and it's not everywhere, it just makes things less annoying but in La Noscea it's still a pretty big problem.

2.0 maps have been completely redone from the ground up, so to me this leads credence that yes they've been able to add true jumping now if they went ahead and redid everything, why not also add the boxes Gramul was talking about? I don't know I don't see the point of saying yes we have jump if it's just an emote.

@ the above, the ability to jump has been a really hot button topic for FF fans on both sides and why I find it completely hilarious.

But that's wrong. You don't need jumping to make a MMO work since few if any have any real core designed based upon the ability to jump. It is just a feature for the players to spam when they are bored in their awesome MMO. EvE Online doesn't have Jumping. FFXI did have jumping. That is because they were not designed or even thought of as a game which requried jumping. FFXIV has done this so far and we haven't needed a jump. Yet they were both quite successful MMO's. You are talking quite directly out of your ass.
