You are entitled to you opinion and mine is I honestly think the people who do not want a jump feature of sorts are the same people who have only playing FFXI or games that its normal to be rooted to the ground for no good reason. Or the people who are anti-WoW who think adding a jump button will make it like WoW. WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG. There are several other MMOs that have a jump button that you don't see people standing around town all day jumping, the reason people do it on WoW is because of the fluidity of it and out of sheer boredom of nothing to do while in town.
SquareEnix I know you are working on the "Jump Feature" so please just stick with it and add in it a different way whether people say they don't like it now, if it becomes a problem after implementation you can always remove it.
