I get rep stealer's in Fort Charles on the Merc's all the time or Assassin's at Kingshead.I'll be leveling my dagger or cutlass on these guys and a gang of low level people jump in and start swinging.So i step back and let the Merc or Assassin handle his business and kill them all with one swipe.Then after everyone is dead I'll take them out.For ship's lately If someone steals my kill I'll fire at the nearest ghost ship around the other ship and watch them sink with a barrage of lightning bolts.I get a kick out of it but ti does seem mean.Also I been so tired of the friendly broadsides that I will wait for that ship to leave.Then sit on my war frigate and jump on a cannon .After the ship that was shooting me reaches his/her level 5 bulwark I will sink it with one lightning bolt from long range.That really makes them mad.Yesterday I cleared out every small ship from port royal to tortuga until everyone got the hint.

Hehe, at my level, the high levels wouldn't waste their time jumping my kills, so that means I get the lower leveled rep jumpers. These people are surprisingly easy to trick, and let me tell you, it is really funny to watch.

One example was when I was on a Kingshead trip with my guild. A level 20 came when the guildmaster (AdmiralBeckett on here) was casting wither and letting the rest of the guild get hits on it, meaning it counted as guild kills, and we all got money and rep.

The level 20 was sweeping the group of Veterans we were fighting, stealing rep, money, and taking kills. So in our chat we decided to have some fun with him. Our guildmaster (very cleverly) managed to convince him that he would get more money and rep if he followed her. To keep him from suspecting something, we all followed her.

We got up to the assassins, we made sure he stayed, by killing the first one without letting him take a hit. So then when the next assassin popped up, he jumped on it expecting us to help him. Our guildmaster fired a few shots with her staff which made him think we were helping. Eventually the assassin's gaze turned to him, and we watched the show. The punk got slain and never came back. ^.^

Another example of my fun with rep hoppers was when I was training at Cuba. There were some level 13-18 fly traps I was training my pistol on when a level 8 showed up and started shooting them. So I killed a few with him, then I shot a one and watched as the rep hopper began shooting.

He started taking damage and tried to run, but seemed to not know that the fly trap could spit venom. He yelled at me "Dude!! Help me!!" and I responded: "Well you seemed like you wanted to kill the monsters I was training on, so I'll let you do it, I don't see a problem in that." I was falling over laughing while he ran like a headless chicken and died.

I was leveling with the mow flag over by kingshead and this ship came over to me and started shooting me, like I took the mow from them when I'd been there for at least a half and hour getting mow after mow. Plus they were a war gal so they had the power to take over my spot. That, to me, is the epitome of rep stealing. Jerks..

I was trying to level my cannons by killing some french blood's. I was killing them perfectly and boarding them with no problem. All of a sudden i saw a Light Sloop walk up on the blood and it needed one hit before boarding it. The light sloop shot and i didn't get no grappilng hook sign nor halfy any rep. Surprised I watched the Light Sloop shoot some hooks. It said Ready to be boarded and then boarded about 2minutes later they both sank. I never really got to find the level but thats what happens when trying to steal my rep ;)

No need to log off! Just open up your map page, and change servers at the top there! (Theres a drop down menu!)

:)

Funny.The exact same thing happened to me.I was like a light sloop boarding?I believe even if you get the most damage whoever gets the crippling shot gets to board the ship.I watched both ships sink as well and waited for it to respawn.

this happens alot, mostly at kings. i just go afk for awhile and eventually they leave =)
