I thought jumping puzles were side paths of each map and not necessary to complete maps, though i keep seing Junping puzles to reach most of the vistas.
I never played jumping games like sonic and so on as kid, and didnt bought this game as an arcade game but rather as a RPG.
More, i play as a Norn character and Norn realy suck at jumping. I was almost quiting this game because of that and didnt quit because of my friends, now another jumping puzle almost impossible for my main, in the south part of Dredghaunt cliffs to reach a Vista as always. So 1 map i will never be able to complete (GREAT, realy GREAT)
KEEP jumping puzles as side quest, not as means to complete maps.
Be creative, i realy loved the Vista, one had to be fired by a cannon and many others, keep the path to some creative and fun, but never as jumping puzles, i hate jumping puzles, and like me, many other players.
And more, remember that not all players play as Human or other races capable of jumping. Norn suck realy badly at jumping.
