Sure, it may look ridiculous, but it does work - and it certainly can't be considered "cowardly." I mean, would you call avoiding a sword slash to the face cowardly? Unless you're Robocop, you would more than likely say "No, it isn't."

The general view towards jumpers by pirates is that all they do is gloat, cause drama, and sit around on Abassa, which is completely stereotypical. Jumping is simply a way to fight in PvP, not a lifestyle. I'm a jumper, after all, but would you consider me the type to run around on Abassa with the PvP glitch? I think not

I'd also like to point out PvP requires no skill at all, period. Yes, you need coordination to know when to hit the right buttons, but thats it, really. I honestly don't consider anything that you might accomplish in a video game to require skill, but thats on a relative level. In the video game realm, however, what ever you can accomplish, you can accomplish with VIDEO GAME skill. It's still "skill," but it can't hold a candle to running a marathon, solving advanced math problems, or any of those real life challenges.

Now, let's all sit back, relax, and indulge our drinks with the little umbrellas as we wait

I suppose you use what you can to not get damage.. I have a friend who I refuse to PVP because he is impossible to hit, he jumps and runs around like a maniac...it's a little annoying. At the same time I can understand you do what you can to win.
