That's like saying: "Hey, I'll pay you $10 to do this test/homework for me"
Sure, you get you're homework done, but you haven't really accomplished much because you didn't really do it or learn from it. You simply paid someone to do it for you.
No, because homework is graded. It's an actual measure of your ability.
MapleStory is a game. The only goal is to get from point A to point B within the rules. Having someone carry your ass isn't against the rules, therefore paying them to do so does not in any way make you a less legitimate player than someone who walked the whole way themselves. Less talented, maybe, but exactly how much talent does it take to play Maple? How many skills do you go through in early levels that you will never use again? All the mobs requiring anything near a strategy to defeat are essentially end game. Some leechers may be quite awesome as players, once they stop leeching and actually start participating, but have no way to shine till they've actually got all their skills and can do everything. 90% of the leechers, like 90% of the entire game's popupation, will no doubt suck, fail and quit. Almost everyone quits before 200 anyhow, what's a few more in the "above 120" quitters range matter to anyone?

You're making a video game into a moral decision where none exists. It's immoral to hack the game and make the rules apply to you differently. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having someone play the game for you, legally. It's no differnet from the thousands of players who were given characters by their older siblings who outgrew the game or whatever.
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.
