Doesn't anybody stop to think just how lame jumping in this game would be? If there is still a lag in response for inputting commands, emotes, hell any user input actually, do you not believe that jumping is just going to be ridiculous?

Input command --> /wait 2 ---> Oh look I jumped!

I wouldn't be offended by a FFXIII style approach with auto-jumping on approach over some of the smaller ledges etc, but even then...why? If we are able to walk in a straight line, what's the point of making maps with curvature and layers in the first place?

They already minimised the amount of travel required with the teleport system, and should they take these kind of steps to make traversing the world streamlined, then you would only see clusters of activity in smaller regions of each map and in higher concentration. If anything - they should be trying to ensure that areas have things to do in most parts of them so that we do get a chance to really see it all and interact with it all.

Part of the appeal of the world is that you have to learn your way around and how to navigate. Sure, it can be annoying when you end up in a dead end that could not be discerned by map use, but often you discover new things by just being in the wrong place.

I won't scream blue murder if jump comes, but I do not see the point. An honest admission - if there was a jump button, I would be inclined to spam it involuntarily.

So please...no jump button!
