Legitimacy when it comes to leeching?

It all depends on the situation. For the leecher, it's all good, in any case. For the leeched though, it depends. If you have a character that's already a higher level, I see no problem. Otherwise, they shouldn't be leeching. Also, if they have like 2x or whatever but have something really important to do, I guess that's OK. But if they just leech all the time, and they don't have a higher level character I think that's just lazy, and wrong. Leeching yourself is a great idea. If I had an AM/Bishop I'd do that for sure. In any case, it doesn't matter to me. People can play their character however they want, it doesn't make the slightest difference to me. I will get annoyed, however, if someone who just leeched all the way to 4th goes around calling people noobs. That's just stupidity.
