"Jumping" in PvP

[jason davy]

I haven't really done PvP a lot until lately, but since I have started I've become pretty familiar with "jumpers," in other words, people who jump around constantly, circling you, murdering you while you can't even touch them. Before today, it annoyed me and I thought it was unfair, but after today, it makes me FURIOUS.

I ended up in a mayhem match with a level 18. No sweat right, a 40 vs. an 18? Welp, the guy starts jumping and promptly proceeds to kick my butt. I go at him again, and once again, I have my butt handed to me. Realizing it was pointless to even TRY to fight this guy, I stand still and flip my coin. He then proceeds to tell me I need to "stop crying" and fight. Well, anybody who knows me knows I have an EXTREMELY low tolerance for this kind of bull. I kept standing there, letting him give me a few more less than friendly comments and finally reported him (knowing perfectly well he probably won't get the boot).

My question to all you lovely people of POF is this: how can I do this "jumping"? I will NEVER use it in PvP because to me, it seems as much like cheating as glitching. However, I would LOVE to know how this works so when I come across one of these people, I can give them a dose of their own medicine.

Rest assured, next time I see someone jumping in PvP, I will do the worst thing you can possibly do to another pirate in the game... absolutely nothing.
