What do you do with rep jumpers?

[Poison elf]

I have seen this I think more and more lately. With the ships invulnerable, there is always some little ship racing up shooting some ship you shot sails off of, that you were prepping to kill with your broadsides for the most overall rep.

Yesterday I ran a 20 level something character for the 2x reward. I am working dagger on a gypsy and as I would hit it with hex, this guy would shoot it or kill it. So I asked; Will you please quit stealing my rep. The response was, "why".

OK at this point it was obvious this 37 level character was basically clueless to over half a dozen things. The 2x floating over the head. Working painful amounts of swings to build up the rep with dagger. I was in a remote area, and dozens of even the same critters to fight near by. I could of sat there explaining maybe you should try something in your level range, but don't think that would of sunk in. Most of all, I will bring one of my 40 level guys there and smoke everything in one hit until you understand, lol.

Kings is a lot of the time even worse, ya finally go and find a server that is empty and start doing your thing. Give it a few minutes and some newb comes in with a staff and starts jumping the spawn.

Could make this a poll, but think I will leave it open to comments.

What I finally did after explaining I was working on my skills, was jump to another server. Places like Kings that is not always such a easy thing.

So whats your solutions?
