This is a list of reasonable conditions for adding jump
Since none of these are met, just keep playing WoW

Maybe I'll go play TERA, AoC, Blade and Soul, Vindictus, Star Wars, Rift, LOTR, etc etc., since every MMO freaking includes jump except your retarded FFXI.

BTW, big grats to this thread on being the most-viewed thread on the English forums by a margin of almost 4,000. Yes, a thread about "Jumping" is the overwhelmingly most-viewed thread in this forum that holds the key to saving this game on this side of the Atlantic.

There is no f**king hope.

Jumping outside of a Dragoon type job I just don't feel would fit the game. I am open to the idea, but I could definitely live without it. I don't want to be having pvp matches or even exp parties where people are just leaping all over the place like ADD children who just snorted a pixie stick.

On the other hand, I may not mind it that much on some ledges and other obstacles that are roughly knee high and the laws of selective dexterity deny me access to an area walled off by the equivalent of a baby-gate.

I would like to jump over obstacles that should be able to jump over, like 2 feet crevices on the floor - yes. I would like to jump "over" and not go around for malms to do this.

This just goes to show how backward the game is. Any self-respecting fantasy game-world designer would implement a jump feature and also a world that accommodated it, for both immersion and practicality, and also for the sake of more involving content. People flock to this thread so SE can hurry up and implement it and get it out of the way. I'm sick of this game playing catch-up.

Wouldn't you want them to just get it out of the way so they can finally work on making content? It's a pretty integral feature.

They should make it like a more open version of FFXIII jumping, so we can jump off those pesky little trenches and maybe even cliffs.

[Alexandrious]

We dont need space bar clowns. Just give players an animation or something to simply leap off a ledge when pressed against it, and to hoist or haul themselves up a ledge providing its not too high.

[Kimahri]

Let's just face it. If they really do implement the jump feature into this game, people are going to flock at finding advantages such as glitches or choke points to help them defeat a certain monster. Just like Absolute Virtue of FFXI CoP when they used the wall glitch to kill him.

[Rowyne]

No offense, but I don't understand how implementing a jump feature equals an exploit?

People keep talking like it's 10 years ago, and the idea of putting in a jump function is completely new and uncharted territory that could possibly have dire consequences. All other modern MMOs handle it just fine.

Jump isnt needed in FFXIV it would be pointless, the only way it would be worth while is if it was done Ala FFXIII where you can jump up and down cliffs.
