It hasn't happened in any MMO I"ve played, despite apparently playing some of hte same ones as you.

People don't just spam jump all the time. IT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN.

And even if it DID happen, it is beyond my ability to comprehend why it's such a big deal.

People that wanted jump complaining about the lack of choice are the ones against the option of being able to turn it off despite the fact it won't affect their gameplay. Hypocrites, all of them.
This isn't about being against choice. How do you choose not to see someone move on the z-axis? Again, this requires the server lying to the jump-disabling client about that player's location. Turning off the animation doesn't make it look any less obnoxious if that's how you feel about jumping.

It just puzzles me why people are both so passionately for or against jumping. it's incredible how something so small and so simple is such a hot debate....

It doesn't need to be that high
He's not jumping high. He's jumping down from the ledge visible in the shot. Which is what jump should exist for in the first place.
