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?
Which cliffs, rocks, ledges, docks, fences ect.. exactly would you be able to "auto-jump" off of and which would you not? My thought process when I'm playing the game, and maybe I'm alone amidst the people wanting jump with this, I see an object, I might be able to jump it, if its he right height. I see a cliff, I can jump off it. Even if there's a bottom below I can't see with distant drawing turned on. With context sensitive jumping, who knows where I could jump and where I can't. That for me is the main reason. I want to feel in control.

If so many are afraid of seeing others jumping around, as if that in some way mocks you in game (I'm sorry for you if it does), than forget the whole idea and lets move on. I played xi for 6 years, without a jump. Sure there was plenty of times I wish the game had it, but I managed without it.

I would like a jump, but this feature alone isn't going to decide whether I will continue to play the game. If a jump were added, I want it under my control.
