why I refuse/cant play GW

A rpg that comes out in 2005 and you cant jump with your avatar. I just isnt realistic. I think my avatar deserves to be able to jump (it gives me a very claustrophopic feeling not being able to jump, Maybe its just me since I cant even wear a tie in real life without feeling that im gona choke to death.
Another thing that bothers me is the annoying animations on the enchantments e.g. aura of restauration. I get dizzy watching spining clouds all the time, dont tell me to use 1st person mode.
Really bumed out because other than that I really like GW, but simply cant get over those two things, so I'll go back to my NT in Anarchy Online.
P.S. the emote /jump doesnt count.

MMOG's that don't let you interact realistically within the environment suck.
GW isn't a real MMOG though, it's just a Lan party online with a select group of friends, and occasionally you see other Lan party groups in limited parts of the game world.

Well no MMORPG I know of lets you really interact with the environment, you know like Splinter Cell,
but the jumping, or lack there of, did get on my nerves, some how I feel like if a jump around then I am harder to hit, but of course we all know it all depends on random stat rolls
Don't you worry little buddy. You're dealing with a man of honor. However, honor requires a higher percentage of profit
If you want physical interaction, try city of heroes. You can do almost anything with the enviorment in that game. NCsoft created it as well, so you would think that they did not want to rehash CoH's engine on GW.

HA....those are the most ridiculous critiques of a game i've ever heard of.......some people will find anything to bash a game about.....next time if you want to critique a game for something.....give us something with alil more meat
Already enough momo's on Guild wars, don't need him added into the mix. Guild wars is like a beautifully animated Diablo 2 with more depth and vastly better pvp. If you want to jump you can play WoW and go jump off thunder bluff instead of taking the elevator down.... I'd definetly pay 15 dollars a month + 40 for every expansion to be able to jump differently for each race i choose..... im sorry but i'd be far more concerned with longevity, graphics, story, and pvp than jumping, and guess what guild wars beats AO on all those any day of the week and twice on sundays.
oh... how petty.
/sarcasm i hate wow, because the orcs have brown spots on their face. i mean, how shit a game when there are creatures with ANNOYING brown spots on their face

the purpose is to make me feel better
Lol...
I don't play GW that much anymore since it's getting kinda boring, but your needs are just so ridicilous xD
Guild Wars is not a MMO
If you want to jump type /jump.
I may look non-threatening. But ill have you know I once punched a magician.
Terrific! Can I have your password?
Yea you are the jumping in WoW is most of the time useless. It will on a very small occation help you out. But people should know if you are getting board in Guild Wars then try our a new character combination. You might just then find you happy place.
Which FF Character Are You?

GW---> (Ranger/Mesmer)Dark Raziel
you could jump in EQ, but if i remember correctly that game was *shite*
obviously the ability to perform short gravity-defying leg kicks (a jump) isn't enough to save a crappy game

let me tell you a story (true one)
one beautiful day i was playing WoW and jumping like a rabbit,,, i wanted to see the ocean and found a spot to do it... i jumped. and watched the ocean, suddenly i couldn't jump my way back, a stupid bug, so.... what did i do.. called the gamemasters.. nothing... i disconnected,, and reconnected.... nothing.. so what did i do this time ? i jumped to he ocean.. ANDA HAD TO SWIM FOR 15 MINUTES SO I COULD GET OUT OF THE WATER.
moral = JUMPING IS EVIL :P
p.s. don't invent stupid things just to justificate the fact that u don't like the game. there are so many good games that i don't like
Final Fantasy 11 doesnt let you Jump, Neither does Lineage 2. Most MMORPGs do not let you Jump. Same with Ragnarok online and PSO
The reason is that MMORPGs are not Action RPGs. All the fighting is handled Indirectly, through commands and programming. Its not like first person shooters and action RPGs that handle combat directly.
Want an example of Action RPGs?
What is the difference between Final Fantasy and Secret of Mana? If you knew the answer, then you wouldnt have startd this thread.
Look at the combat in Star Ocean 2 and 3 as well as The "Tales" series of games. They are not menu based.
In a lot of games, you have an in-between of traditional combat with an illusion of action. Guild wars is all action. Wow, You can't jump.....
Want to be realistic? How far can a person jump realistically? How far can you run realistically and both wearing 100lbs of armor?
You won't play a game because you can't see a one foot jump...........
Not a legitimate reason. If you want 100% action, then play First person shooters. First Person Shooters became mainstreamed in 1999, but CS is the most popular and you can jump there.
It wasn't until we saw games in 2003 where we got Full Three Dimensional MMORPGs that actually had good detail (Not that EQ game), that looked like something that came from DirectX 4 or 5 on the level of some first person shooters (Lineage 2 in beta test in 2003)
MMORPGs are Soooooooooooooooooooo behind other games that we still use the term PvP, when every other genre the term doesnt exist because we all play them for PvP. PvP heavy games just recently started becoming more mainstream and now a game like GW that has more balance and things to make up for weakness in the genre appears.....
I like guild wars too and I can think of a million things wrong with Anarchy Online.
Well, good luck :P
Who gives a jack? The not being able to jump part doesn't really bother.

HI HO HI HO OFF TO WORK WE GO!
hahaha.
man.... i miss UO
sometimes when you were mining rare metals, an elemental would be unearthed. *shudders*
just imagine. me, a poor miner with my pack donkey. i'm just a helpless miner. so i am mining Valorite, the rarest ore in all of Brittania, when a Valorite Elemental appears!
These things would take a group of 10 or so tanks and mages and healers to kill. so imagine what it would do to a miner and his little donkey
*sigh* happy days
