However, being able to simply jump grands me access to having the OPTION, to over come this incline, to descend this cliff and doing all that on MY terms is infinitely better then being regulated by certain "checkpoints" for that action.

Explain to me how that would be a minor annoyance? Just because WoW has the same feature doesn't mean the game is going to descend to the same childish mindset, here I thought the FF players were a much more mature, refined MMO community and could handle something as simple as being able to untethered jumping. my mistake! Keep your feet on the ground friend, don't want to upset the people RP'ing in say with my jumping. :P
Hahaha! Well here's what I would mean as far as examples I could list.

As you know there are filters for letting me filter out all the junk I don't want to see in my chat board. Such as /emote. There will be no filter for when I see a guy/girl just jumping for no reason while waiting for Behest, Mission, Quest, Linkshell event, etc.

Secondly what I think would be a reason is that the Development Team has come around saying that they would later on down the road implement back into FFXIV PvP....Now if you've played Halo........You know for darn sure they're going to be hopping around like jack rabbits just to piss you off.

Mostly all in all I wouldn't have a problem with this being an annoyance, except for that PvP example. However I can see others having a problem with this as I tend to see a lot of people with impatience as they play this game. For example I was playing Behest and people wouldn't stop fighting so we could invite the last guy, so he got pissed and slapped on his 50 THM and decimated the rest of the Behest mobs....Then they were annoyed over him because they couldn't wait 3 seconds to invite him in the first place!.........

See what I mean? lol This list I'm sure could add a couple more reasons to why people wouldn't want it. I'm just listing those I know. Wouldn't you agree that it's slightly annoying?
