I wouldn't call myself a jumper, nor would I use the 'jumper ranking system', as I don't title myself in this game (except, maybe, Captain Misty, haha). I jump occasionally in PvP, but I haven't turned it into a fine art like jumpers have done. Broadsword is my weapon of choice simply because it's stronger than cutlass, and I like to do a lot of damage in combat (not saying cutlass is weaker - if I found a cutlass stronger than my broadsword I'd go for the cutlass). I never found cutlass hard to use.

PvP isn't my main focus in Pirates Online, so I'm bound to practice the 'jumping technique' less than those who enjoy PvP above everything else. Perhaps I might look into jumping a bit more after I'm mastered and want to start to level up my Infamy, but jumping really isn't the most interesting thing that I'll encounter in the game, in my opinion. I'd probably just fight on the ground. :P I don't really have the time to spend learning how to jump in PvP, so I might try it occasionally, but I'm certainly not as skilled as most players who actually call themselves jumpers are. There's no way I'd question a jumper's skill in the game, because jumping is no doubt the strongest, yet toughest to learn, form of PvP. It's just not my kind of thing, that's all.

There are many different ways you can play this game. 'Tis fine to have a different style of gameplay to someone else - just the same as having different opinions. If we all had the same way of playing the game, this would be a pretty boring forum! :P
