It just dawned onto me recently that this leech system in maple has taken over almost everyone. Now, who came up with this idea of leech in maple and the whole pg mule to leech off bosses. Also, do you think we would have so much lvl 200's already if leech wasnt discovered ?

I'm pretty sure leech was discovered 1 or 2 months after 4th job came out, then was started being sold in the summer of 2008? I'm not exactly sure because I quit in feb 08 and restarted in december.

When I was level 40 people were asking me to, "help" them train. That was 24 months ago. I think the term leech has been around for a long time. "The noob is leeching our experience, he's doing nothing to help us. He didn't even do his portal." <= That was what people alway said in stage 6 Ludibrium PQ. People were, "leeching" experience. The term leech might have been used in FoG parties, though I was a few levels short so I never had a FoG party. I do remember the term being used in LMPQ when I was level 54.

honestly i dont know who invented it, and alot of 200s are just mages who leeched and got mob skills then went to skele so yah if there was no leeh then we wouldnt have as many 200s

Well of course there would be less level 200s. But today, people can be like, "Ohey, I'ma be lvl 200 tomorrow, then I'll make another next week."

I think the original leechers started with hackers. People partied and afk'd while hackers killed. Then, 4th job mages came out with the amazing mob skill, and decided to leech for a friend. Well, then they started to sell leech, then other mages did, and it continued. That is what I think happened.

We have 151 200 mages. Let's give them a round of applause.

I'm pretty sure it was discovered, not invented. It probably was a lot of people who came up with the idea not just one person.

leeching has always been arou d but not in such a. Serious manner I remember on my first couple chars I would ask people to train me and I would just sit there as they killed monsters and I leveled up

Leech was discovered by the first person that made a party.
