I played both WoW and Aion, and i havent seen that many ppl jumping like rabbits/frogs
Right, this is taken way out of proportion. I do occasionally see people jump, and when I'm questing I jump myself to have something more visually interesting then just running on a horse for 5 minutes on screen, but it's not as though Orgrimmar is constantly shaking under the feet of people spamming jump.

As i mentioned before, an FFXIII style jump would have issues since this is not a linear game, and it would not solve the problem with mob position since the jump often works only in one spot on a ridge. So, you'd still have to walk around to find the sweet spot when you should be able to just take a short jump and save yourself the trouble. The realistic animation style is such that each jump would likely take time, have no air control, and take a bit to recover from, but overall it would still be usable with a GTA4/Uncharted type animation. It's certainly better than the alternative, just straight walking with no variation, feeling stuck on 2 dimensions in a 3 dimensional world is offputting, especially when the industry standard is to be able to jump.
