"Jumping" in PvP

Welp, we had an agreement of just blades, and regardless of him hopping around like a flea, I honored it. Also, its obvious that jumping isn't "cheating" but it also OBVIOUSLY gives an unfair advantage to the one that can jump. And if you've actually been slaughtered by someone you have no prayer of hurting, you probably agree that it's bull.

EXACTLY. If you can't play how it's meant to be played, then just don't play. Or play with other guys that play like you. I fully intend to do that myself from now on. I'm done with the jumping mess. The 18 guy beat another 40 right after me. Tell me he's being fair...

Well reading all this I have to put my 2 cents in just cause i want to put my 2 cents in.

There are no rules as to "How it's meant to be played". When you do an lookout, you are going to get what you get. If you want PVPs that don't include jumpers, then you need to ask ppl to PVP that don't jump.

Jumping in a PVP is more challenging than you think. And most jumpers would rather PVP other ppl that jump. If you don't Jump what is the challenge in standing there hacking at each other? The winner will be the one that has the best skills layout and the one beat can look that skill layout up and duplicate now that you can reallocate skills. Jumping is a challenge because the issue is aim. You have to be able to run, jump and aim. Some just run and skip the jumping around because the jumping slows you down a bit (well at least it does me).

I jump in PVPs with other jumpers. I hack it out with those that don't. There are a lot of things I don't like in PVP (Dolls, Staffs, Nades and Tonics). If you don't think the jumpers are 'fair". Well since when are Pirates supposed to be Fair?

As for the comment about both ppl jumping does someone win? Yes. I jump and sometimes i win and a lot of times i don't =).

Which is probably why I don't do PvP, actually I've never done PvP so my opinion may not count for much. I just don't see the point in standing there and letting someone hit me. When I fight NPCs, if I can help it I will try to run around and get behind them. When using the doll, I will kite them because, well, it's a ranged weapon. It may be the FPSer in me but I'd rather not stand there. In the movies, yeah I suppose they didn't jump around like monkeys but they certainly didn't just stand there and wave their cutlasses at each other.

As I said before, not jumping doesn't necessarily mean players just stand there hacking. Movement is great. Just standing there would indeed be boring.
