I want to be controlling my character, not clicking yes or no, or opening up a menu to initiate the action ( try /sit, whose bright idea was it to add an icon popup after sitting so you can open your main menu, then choose to stand?)

I have read so many of these posts, but one thing I don't understand. The people wanting jump, right now can't jump in the game. The people against, can't jump either. If they did add a jump, the people wanting it, could jump. The people against it, woudn't have to.
The people against it would still be on the receiving end of the many ways to abuse jumping that are present in games that inclue it.

Context sensitive jumping doesn't necessitate clicking yes/no, or opening a menu. It can simply be initiated by walking to a certain area, or against a ledge. How is less "control" (you decide to walk there, the game doesn't walk you there against your will) than walking there and pressing a key to manually jump?
