Haha, that was a fun read!
The biggest problem with leeching is that it causes so much dramaz!!!11... but at least it brings entertainment to the board, I suppose!
Anyway...one thing I do remember seeing that made me raise my eyebrows a little...Harrisonized declared someone's point BS because he had never seen the smegas saying, "B>LEECH!" Sorry, Harrisonized, but I don't really agree with you there--they are fairly common on Windia, though maybe not as common as the original poster of the statement would have you believe.
And on the subject of leeching, it doesn't hurt you personally ... you can baww over training maps, or you can pick up your stuff and go to another map, or camp out until someone leaves? Skeles and newties may be the BEST but they are by no means the ONLY...instead of complaining you should just devote that time to levelling at a slightly worse training spot. Then your time wouldn't be wasted!
For the record, I've never leeched, and I do feel a bit of jealousy towards the people in my alliance who have leeched heavily (from like 70-120 without even playing their character once...literally, other people sign on them and leech them) but I don't really care. Maple is not about level anymore, nor is it about damage...people have already claimed those top spots. It's about personal achievement. I'm proud of my level. If a leecher can say the same, kudos to him/her...though why should it make other people upset?
