The 2x event is a lie

Also it inflates equipment costs. Since a whole lot of current 4th jobbers never would have made it there, there'd be a stockpile of high level equipment for cheap.

Completely wrong. If a person spends a ton of mesos buying leech, they will have less to spend on equips.

So what are these "high level" equips that are being inflated?

Facestomper/YSS = level 50
SCG = level 50
Purple/Pink cape = level 50
Zakum helm = level 50
Bathrobe = level 20

Almost all end game armours are low level.

Buying leech = less money to spend = deflation, not inflation

If you dont buy, it only means you sell. since you ARE a magician afterall. if leech is bannable, you source of income will crumble. So that is why you support leeching.

I quit my mage.

Way to make assumptions?

Pirates.

All the pirates that I know in my server stopped leeching at 120~140.

ISlapWhale

Level 200 in 7 months. enough said. Sure he trained at some points, but he also leeched HARDCORE to get there.

Leeching is slower than training at higher levels. If he leeched more than he trained, he would not have leveled that fast.
