KRAKEN OF THE EAST is scurvy dog
yes i HATE it when people do this, extrememly annoying... a lv 24 kicked my butt when i was lv 32... i told him to stop jumping, then, i guess upset that i dissaproved of this 'technique', which was probably the only way he knows how to pvp, he starts telling me im a baby, i cant fight and im too dumb to figure out how to do it

It is used to get out of the way... I agree that a lot who do this don't just do it for that purpose though. A lot who do are doing it for wins, yes. But its still a tactic never the less (those who are saying you shouldn't be able to jump with a weapon, you shouldn't be able to attack in the air... last time I checked POTCO is a GAME not REAL LIFE.) and it isn't just used by those who care about winning.

Not about fun? Not about fairness? Not about respect?

Last I checked PvP was two or more people fighting one another, that to some is fun.

It IS fair regardless of one person not knowing how to jump, it ISN'T fair if you ask the person to stop yet they refuse... but then again there are NO SET rules for pvp meaning pretty much, anything goes. If the people who are in the pvp AGREE to rules and one of them is "no jumping"... then yes, if the other does it it is unfair. However, if the other player refuses to abide by those rules... DON'T ACCEPT THE PVP... if your already in the pvp, LOG OUT.

The matter of respect... sure plenty of people who do jump don't care at all about their opponent but NOT EVERYONE IS THIS WAY.

You should word what you say a little better... you pretty much said anyone who jumps in pvp doesn't respect who they face, don't want to have a fun pvp, aren't fair, and only care about winning. I myself don't ALWAYS jump in a pvp and do admit it is tiresome at times but you can't say that EVERYONE who does this is pretty much a "cheater".

You also said before that someone whos moving around their opponent (I am assuming circling around so if I misunderstand then excuse me) is GOOD at pvp? If jumping in circles around your opponent is unfair... explain to me how doing the same thing minus the jump is unfair? Again, if I misunderstood, excuse me.
2 pirates fighting one another is fun. but using unnatural causes of the game to your advantage, ISNT. you can call it whatever you want, but either way, jumping is unfair, and should be fixed immediately

It just appears harder to attack the jumper since he/she is moving up and down as well as around. What I meant by take someone to a pvp... have someone stand infront of you, if they aren't jumping of course you CAN hit them... but if you tell them "hold down space", guess what... you CAN hit them as well even when they are IN the AIR.

yes, but not everybody knows how to jump. a jumper should stop jumping if a person who doesnt know how asks them to regardless
