Leech : A service that consists of an individual or group being in a party with another individual or group and killing (a) monster(s) with the intent of giving experience to the partied group or individual without expecting recompense in the form of experience. This is pretty long and wordy, but I think it's pretty solid. Suggestions and criticisms are welcome.

Well, I Wouldn't Call It Hacking, But It Is Definitely An Advantage That Most Mapler's Cannot Take Advantage Of.

"without expecting recompense in the form of experience." The leecher still gets experience. I've known of some AMs that leech people just so they can afford pots to leech with, therefore making leeching their only form of receiving EXP. You should include something about meso transactions as well.

Before this thread turns into a flame war, please remember that Nexon condones leeching as per this thread made on the official Nexon forums. I personally don't support it, but since Nexon does not see it as a bad thing, then we can't condemn others for taking part.

Leech is just as unfair as hacking.
