Not just you
Except Vulpera, they are cool with the flip

Typically while idling waiting for M+/Raid Pull to start.

We had a joke in FH in BFA where we got the soapy suds debuff and just spammed jump constantly! To the point where I now tank, get the debuff and auto press jump whilst tanking the 3-4 packs next to the mob, lol

I mainly play a hunter and it involves lots of jumping. Jumping whilst strafing and just because you can jump and still DPS! (also main is a Pandaren and they are bouncy so are contractually obliged to jump alot).
Then there is the ‘why are we waiting?’ bounce in dungeons/raids whilst you wait for people, portal jump, and any type of glide has to be started with a jump.

Also Im pretty sure my hunters disengage doesnt work unless you jump first…at least Ive never tried it without jumping!

I never jump. But Im old and boring.
I does look kinda silly when I see someone fighting a single mob in the world they constantly jump.

Think there was a study which showed that one of the few means to figure out someone irl gender is through how much they jump.

In what way?

A woman I know that plays the game is a chronic jumper.

I am a chronic jumper, especially on void or blood elves or night elves. I’m also an AD-spammer in PvP when I stun people, lol.

Found it, but apparently a small sample size. So maybe unreliable… And some grossly biased arguments as well. Cross that, was a blog post from the source article. From 2014

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/262898610_The_strategic_female_Gender-switching_and_player_behavior_in_online_games

It concluded at “Men playing with a female avatar also jumped an average of 116 more times than their female counterparts.”

Do hope that times isn’t multiplicative.

Not that much, unless I get stuck on something. Instead of being calm and just walking around it I seem to figure that spamming the spacebar will magically propel me out of the way. Sometimes it works…
