Jason Davy, I myself am a "jumper". My first encounter with a jumper was one of my first pvps. I felt the same way as you did. However, you have to understand that this isn't "cheating", "glitching", or "hacking". It's simply a SKILL removed from other games and placed into Pirate PVP. In any First Person Shooter games, it's in your best interest to use QWEASD (or any variation of that) to your advantage in dodging enemy attacks. Why should PVP be any different? Because we're not using guns?
Anyway, in order to "jump", since become familiar with the QWEASD keys:
Q= shafte left
E= shafte right
W= move forward
A= turn left
D= turn right
S= move backwards
Please understand that jumping also requires hand-eye coordination, a skill that isn't easily learned. You must also keep the Right-Mouse button held down at all times and drag it left or right to keep aim on your opponent. If you don't have aiming abilities, TOUGH LUCK. Don't complain that you can't hit us. In addition, the right-mouse button gives A & D the same effect it would if one used Q & E. Therefore, some people omit A & D keys in PVP. Auto-running is another variation that some people choose.
All in all, I just have to say, if you can't be a man (or woman) in PVP, then stay out of the arena. If you choose to do a Lookout, that's an all-out match. Rules can't possibly have been set in before hand, so doll a jumper, staff a jumper. But if your opponent approaches you with a set of rules ie: Blades & no tonics, you can safely assume that he/she is a jumper. Now, you have the god given right to say no thanks. If you choose to accept, don't cry when you lose 10-0.
Have a nice day,

EDIT:
I would also like to point out that the reason "jumping" is in no way a glitch or hack is because:
1. the SPACE bar = jump. (complain to Disney if you think they should outlaw the Space bar)
2. the ESCAPE button = putting away weapons
3. F1 - F6 = choosing your weapons
4. qweasdr = movements
If you have any issues with these, see Disney. We're simply playing with what's given to us
So in reply to Edward Edgemenace, the fact that we're allowed to attack while jumping is NOT a glitch. I can just as easily circle my opponent WITHOUT the use of the space bar and own.
