As someone newly off the LW list, that tends to steer clear of DP and also has been known to stand idle in open unprotected areas, I have been inducted into the art of jumping. Well what could be the ART of jumping. I don't care about the loss of levels, have yet to have anything precious stolen from me (perhaps from a lack of younger thieves to target their peers??). Almost every time I have been jumped, the attacker could easily have held me where I was and done some good torturous RP.
It sucks to be killed over and over, lose tons of levels because it's boring. It can't even be all that fun for whoever is doing the jumping. I would like to encourage all those that enjoy to jump the young and some what defensive players to at least put some pizazz in that jump and add some entertainment to the learning experience.
