Legitimacy when it comes to leeching?

I've read a lot of responses here, some are very intriguing, some made very good points, and I've seen some rather dumb replies too. >_>; Anyways, it's been a while since I posted this thread, and leeching has gone to the point where almost everyone does it now, sadly. <_< -did not leeched to get his NL-.

Leeching's actually destroying the game though, whether it's legit at this point or not..
