Core feature agree, but did not all classes have a way to reduce? In that sense core could be applied in that light.

Now they no longer have.

Classes and builds don't affect your jumps. I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion.

 

The fall reduction added increased the survivability by a small amount. In the jumping puzzles where people tend to fall and die, this trait would not have helped them. Look through all of the jumping puzzles in the game and see how many of them have jumps where you could die if you fail them. How many of them have falls that fall within the range that the trait added? This just seems like Anet took something that was rarely used (I think they stated this) and now people are upset because something was taken away even though it may have been something they never used.

I did use it but not for jump puzzles. Monsters have a tendency to use knock backs in pof and hot so I used it for that since In both areas the land is filled with cliffs and deathly falls
