[dev1008] About Jumping

[Rhianu]

I do think the devs should listen to peoples advice and opinions who are not currently playing the game, as much, if not more, than those of us who are.

I admit, you do have a point there, and I mean that in all seriousness. FFXIV needs more customers in order to be able to sustain itself, and in order to bring in more customers, they need to bring back people who quit, which they can't do unless they address the issues which caused those people to quit in the first place.

I've seen some people (not many, but some) try to insist that developing for people who don't play is illogical, but what these people don't understand that everyone who is not already a customer is still a potential customer. And if by making certain changes to the game, SE can turn those potential customers into actual customers, wouldn't it make sense to do it?

feeling stuck on 2 dimensions in a 3 dimensional world is offputting, especially when the industry standard is to be able to jump.

Thank you! I've been trying to tell people that for years, but the FFXI fanboys keep insisting that it isn't a problem, when it clearly is.

I would really like a jump feature but with a cooldown or something to avoid the spam of it.

No other game in any genre for any console in any time period has EVER put a cooldown timer on the jump function. That's not a good idea, and it makes no logical sense whatsoever.

Besides, if you actually play any other MMO for any real length of time, you come to realize that jump-spamming is nowhere near as common as the average FFXI/FFXIV zealot seems to believe. And even when it does happen, it's super easy to ignore.
