    You know.. that whole "realism" thing that people around here selectively agree with when it suits them, but completely reject when it doesn't...?
    Jumping on tents is as real as invisible walls, or not jumping off a cliff.

    Invisible walls are by far more annoying, they are the antithesis of fun. There's far more fun jumping on tents.

    Exactly. And honestly things you can jump on supporting you is a far more consistent. Keeping it the way it is, the game will consistently, 100% of the time allow things you can jump on to support your character. In changing it, the developers have to decide which things can or cannot support your character and there may be inconsistencies.

    Also if anyone actually does want to play the "that can't support your weight" card, you're trying to base that on what works in our world (see: realism) which doesn't quite work. We don't know what Eorzean cloths are capable of doing or how their process of creation alters their properties. Not to mention as NinjaPanda mentioned, magic. It can strengthen our defenses so how far-fetched is it that it could strengthen the fabric, thus increasing it's weight tolerance? I mean even the mighty Ifrit's claws could not rend our fabric armors! But I digress as this point is becoming increasingly silly

    But if Preypacer gives it a rest... who will fight the war on invincible tents? She's the Nael Van Darnus of tents.
