Well, not 90% really. I don't really have an accurate statistic, so I'll use that. It was to draw your attention to the topic anyways. On a personal note, I don't leech (well, I do if you agree with what I'm saying) , and I have no problems with doing so. However, this is just a thought that I came across. First of all, I'll define leeching as, sitting somewhere safe and gaining EXP while someone else kills the monsters for you. (Needs conformation?) Therefore, even being in a party can be seen as leeching, since you do not kill ALL of the monsters, and still get some EXP. So, as long as you've been in a party and have trained before, you have leeched in a way. "Being in a party doesn't count as leeching" I understand that by saying this, you are claiming that you have never been in a party while training and: 1) Go the washroom for a few minutes 2) Talk to friends/guild/etc. on chat 3) Stopped to re-pot (to clear the confusion - when going OUT of a map, or when healing) And the list just goes on.. So if you see it that way, almost every mapler has leeched in one way or another. Prove me.. wrong? Flames will be ignored, but rebuttals will be accepted, I'm interested in what you guys think about this. "I thought these leech threads were done" Well they're not. If you don't have anything useful to post, I suggest you not to do it, and leave instead of wasting your time. Thanks if you read all of this.. :D

well, things like going to the bathroom and talking to buddies while in a party is much different than paying someone to kill monsters for you. And almost 4 years ive been playing this game and not once have i leeched. sure, people may pass my level within days but what really matters to me is knowing that i earned all my lvles, through honest hard work its such a rewarding experience when you lvl up after hours of grinding. do you get that same feeling when you levl on a rope? im pretty sure you dont.

Wow so far like the posts are made without reading the thread, but yeah your logic seems right, BUT MOST PEOPLE CONSIDER LEECHING WHEN YOUR NOT TRAINING AT ALL OR HAVE NO MIND FOR IT and are getting exp in return. With your logic, I could have leeched maybe like 50% total lol, idk, himes party for like 20 lvls and then newts ? :D

Actually, only .01% of the population has ever leeched. It's soo expensive. And those that are lower levels are mostly active. And priests don't leech, they use heal and holy symbol
