"Jumping" in PvP

It is a defect in the game which very clearly makes PvP one of the least likable areas of POTCO.

Cheating is using exploits against other pirates. Jumping (particularly non-stop) is cheating.

If the POTCO staff wanted to use pychics in the game I'm sure they would have.

I don't like jumpers but I don't think jumping and using a weapon at the same time is a glitch. There's no proof that it is in fact a glitch. If it was I'm sure Disney would have fixed it by now.

But I do think that we shouldn't be allowed to jump in PVP.

I'd just like to note that there are plenty of game-hindering glitches that Disney hasn't bothered to fix. With that said, I don't believe jumping with weapons is a glitch so much as a severe defect in the game that ABSOLUTELY needs fixing. Actually... now that I think about it, is a "severe defect" and a glitch the same thing? Hmm... thought provoking eh?

I don't think jumping is cheating. I mean, if your opponent is going to attack you, I would get out of the way--- it's common sense.

A PvP match shouldn't be based on the strength of your weapons or health of your pirate. It should be based on the skill of the player.

Jumpers are annoying-- and that's the point. They're supposed to frustrate you.
A frustrated players could be easier to defeat than an player that is not frustrated.

Jumping is not used to be frustrating, nor is it used only to "get out of the way." This tactic is used by those who care about WINNING. Not about fun, not about fairness, not about respect. Just winning. When a tactic is unfair to other players, it ceases to be simply a tactic and becomes cheating.
