Most pointless feature ever?

So was thinking, what exactly is the purpose of the "roll/front flip" move that you can do by pressing "X". Besides being a change up from just wobbling and jumping around it really serves no purpose.

As a psuedo-philosopher I must question why it was implemented in the first place.

    'cos it makes every single lowbie ask "omg how do you do that!" and lets you be all mentor-like and feel awesome for a moment :P

    Plus random silly stuff is fun.
    I've quit excluding TW for my faction. But I still hang around to help out those who still enjoy the game under PWEs horrific handling and to have fun in the forums. b:cute
    #Shame about PWEs absolutely craptastic handling of the goons glitching. Remember kids, there's no punishment for breaking the rules here!#
    If you make a valid complaint, your thread will disapear. Don't post it here, post it on other sites where PW can't hide it.

    Whenever I see a Kitty Form Barb or my Fox Form Self do it I automatically go "Do a Barrel Roll!" in my mind. Little things like this make me happy. I love my Rollin' Rollin' Rollin' I still do it now when I am running in instances or jumpin around in TW.

    is not that our aim is too high

    The same can be said for the existence of any given game, IMO. They're games after all.

    No, the most pointless feature ever is their blacklist. 20 names is worthless when there are hundreds of you ******* out there.

    that x button is there for the same reason those other emotions are there because everyone likes something silly for entertainment.

    Everything has its beginnings, but it doesn't start at one. It starts long before that... The world is born From zero. The moment zero becomes one is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes 2. 2 becomes 10. 10 becomes 100. taking it all back to one solves nothing. so long as zero remains... One.. Will eventually grow to 100 again.

    In case you didn't know, when you are pressing X, there is a decent change that if a sin teles to you, he will rubberband, or get the walking moon glitch.
