I've seen several times that if you enter a lookout, you get what you get, etc etc etc. To clarify, I don't do lookouts. If I get an invite, I'll sometimes accept, and if someone in-game asks if I want to PvP, I'll often accept. My general point about the whole issue is this: if you are a jumper, jump with other jumpers for crying out loud. But when you get in a match where the other player OBVIOUSLY doesn't know how to jump or refuses to, it's disrespectful to continue jumping, ESPECIALLY when the non-jumper asks you to stop. I'll use the same response that was used above: if you're in PvP, be a man (or a woman) and fight fairly, and win or lose, make it fun for both players. And if a fair fight includes jumping (this means BOTH players are jumping) then by all means jump. But if you don't even have enough decency to respect another player, then just don't play.

Also, I like Edward's example about jumping and trying to hit the t-ball. Very true.

Simply don't accept random invites. Unless it's a PVP that you set up with someone, with the terms you like, you are just taking your chances, it's that simple. Ultimately the type of PVP you want can be controlled by you.

I DO agree with a lot of the points you made, that if you ask a jumper to stop that they should. I have been in PVPs with Jumpers where i have had an issue with something and asked them to hold for a sec and they do and ones that they don't. I've had the ones where i've been jumped by a crew (3 on 1) and in those cases i just log unless they agree to one on one (or one at a time).

I found the mayhems to be a lot of fun for both jumpers and hackers if they are big enough. (like 8 ppl in them)

Oh and as a PS for those shooting for the leaderboard - Unless Disney recently changed it (like with the new updates). All those pirates you see on the PVP Leaderboards, they are there because they LOST. I tested that theory out by PVPing with a friend where we agreed on who was going to win every match and who was going to lose. Guess which one was on top of the leaderboard the next day - Why the loser of course.

Like you, I have met jumpers who will agree to not jump if I ask them, and I gain a lot of respect for those people. But also, like you, theres always those who ignore you or those who gang up on you, and in those cases I sometimes log but I usually just stand still and flip my coin.

I've never been in that big of a mayhem, but it does sound like fun!

And thats very interesting about the leaderboards... VERY interesting... lol
