Not sure how that's smarter.
Not sure where you think a "Jump" would correct that certain problem. That's just simply a fall. It requires no need to physically press a button to jump.

Now I'm here to set this record straight. There is ABSOLUTELY no reason not to implement jump AS A PASSIVE TRAIT ONLY! I do not see a situation where you would have to frequently press the "Jump Button" If there is a hill up ahead that you can climb/jump up onto, then it should do it automatically, not manually. If there is a steep drop off that requires you to jump/fall off from, it should also be done automatically and not manually.

This topic is starting to get rather boring and tasteless. I can see people are passionate about how jump is all in all part of the FF trend. However, even in the games such as FFT Advanced, jumping was merely used as a passive ability when moving from one place to the next. In certain games, such as FFX, when my favorite character used jump, you couldn't control the angle, height, or time in which you jumped.

This is how I feel on jump in a nutshell. Bring it into the realm of FFXIV, but do it as only a passive ability to movement mechanics in the game.
