I understand that it's a big no-no in some peoples books. They hate it, despise it, loath it. I understand why 100%. The people who do it, the leechers, usually are calling people who are against it, poor. Because apparently, you choose not to do it because you can't afford it. I guess having money it automatically triggers the "Leech-able" part of your brain, thus making you buy leech. Anyway, that's not really what I'm talking about. This is about leeching oneself. What's the issue on leeching yourself? You're spending YOUR time to kill the monsters and level your 2nd character and YOUR pots are being used. The issue on buying leech is obviously being lazy, right? Getting all those hard earned levels while chilling on a rope. Getting level 75 - 100 in the same amount of time as 75 - 80. People tell me, "Leeching shouldn't be done at all, not even if it's your own character!" So what's right? Am I allowed to leech my own characters? Or is buying leech and leeching myself the exact same faults and shouldn't be done at all?

You made it to 4th job... Go ahead and take it easy for a while. Leeching yourself is 100% okay in my book.

Leeching is okay if you're leeching yourself. Only because it's your own character that you made and had the patience for 4th job. Oh yeah, I don't care if you flame me because I don't know what the hell I'm saying.

I think leeching is ok. If someone wants to pay someone else to train them, that's fine. It doesn't really hurt anyone. The leecher gets levels while spending his/her money, and the person who is leeching gets to make money while they train, and it also pays for pots. And if someone took the time to get to 4th job, they should be able to leech their own characters. My friend got to 200, and if he wants to leech a couple characters with his Bishop, then he should be able to.

Would you say the new level 30 cash shop item is earning a 2nd job?

no the thing is that some 8 year is gonna steal his/her parents credit card, buy like 500 gacha, then get to level 150 off leeching.

any type of leech is 100% ok like u stated only poor people go against leeching or those who are like 150+ non mages and get pissed that noobs are catching up to them (mostly poor part)

Leeching is ok. People earned their mesos, and use the mesos to buy leech. Think of it like you wanting a better equip so you buy scrolls to make it better. Instead you buy Exp from people leeching to get your Exp higher. It's just another type of business in my book.

Sorry, but people have lives, they can't be grinding for 4 to 5 hours a day.
