Who the hell are you guys to judge the way other people play the games if it's not interfering with your game play? Jealous and/or pissy-ness because they level faster than you isn't grounds for disqualification. Period.
Ok, fine, you got the ranks issue, but seriously, it's your spot on a board. If you're "all about the game" and how people should play it "fairly," then ranks shouldn't matter much to you anyway, huh? I mean, it's hardly even part of the game in any way.
YOU waste your time to get to 4th job content and above, and their waste their MONEY. You both lose something.

I haven't played MS lately, but I've heard Galloperas are awesome EXP, yet the maps are being wasted with Bishops selling leech, when instead they could be shared among two people who want to actually train. I'm not even going to get into how leeching has made people act with bosses. Tons of people get KSed at Bigfoot by some twat Hero with his level 40 PG mule.
Leeching is a big problem that does affect the game negatively.
Fumni Wrote:Yeah I know what you are talking about. That reminded me when I was having issues with finding a clean Gallopera map when Malaysia came out to test the experience ratio there on my x-bow due to Mages selling leech, but eventually figured out the peak times that they were training. Because Mardia isn't as crowded as Scania, it isn't packed 24/7, but it is really bad at that map now because of leeching.

Arguing leeching doesn't affect you, so why do you care is a terrible argument, because it does affect me. Before mini-dungeons, nearly every channel of Newties was taken up by leechers. Even trying to go to Wyverns during 2x was impossible because of all the rope-humpers. Even now with the mini-dungeons, My CB still suffers because somebody takes my map to leech.
My beef with leeching isn't the legitimacy of it, it's the effects of it that I hate. People zooming up past me in levels (Which doesn't matter but still is annoying), KSing by people who shouldn't even be training on the map, and a general mindset created in MS where training is only needed until you can leech harps, at the latest.
and thats just in the previous page. i think you should rethink your stand on the "no one gets affected by it".
