Okay. Time to actively participate in this conversation-gone-rogue.

Jumping is a way we can further interact with the world introduced in Realm Reborn. It's there to make life easier - I'm much more interested in jumping down a 4-foot ledge than walking all the way around just to move forward. I like the idea of areas that require a little platforming and, in fact, I would like them to add more exploratory actions you can do - climb ladders, swing on vines, run on the sides of walls if you're a light-armor melee class, float down from a ledge if you're a white mage, use a grappling hook as a ranger. Why? Because this is a goddamned adventure game. That's the core gameplay of the MMORPG - you get a bunch of your friends and go exploring. And yes, limiting jumping will make this game stand out from other games, but not in a good way. And that's what this game doesn't need. I'd rather the game add something new to the genre than remove or limit aspects of it just because Rokien is making his bajillionth thread.
