An idea to separate leechers from grinders.

The Idea.. You log in and a message comes up giving you a piece of equipment that tracks how exp is obtained. If you don't equip it, you d/c. How it works: A percentage of exp gained will be logged as you level up. Ways to obtain exp: Killing monsters Leeching Quests The equip logs how you gain your exp by determining if you killed a monster solo or in a party. Don't worry, if you always pq or train in parties, your leech % will be low. Exp gained by quests is easy to log and track. To find out how much a player has grinded or leeched, double click and a button showing a % breakdown of exp gained. So if you want to know if a high ranking player leeched, their exp gained percentage would be really high( 70+ %). A grinder/Quester breakdown would look like: 10% leech, 65% grind, 25% quest. How much trouble would something like this cause the MS gamers?

Wait, D/C? And we have to equip it, taking up an equip spot?

yumtoast154 : Wait, D/C? And we have to equip it, taking up an equip spot? What about an extra equip slot, especially designed for this particular piece of equip ? It could be an auto function that gets activated at once everytime we log on or something else related

No that wouldn't work, Nexon would not even do it, too many kiddies not spending money meaning no innovation for Nexon so no.

Why not add another feature where you can see a person's stats, equips, inventory and Buddy list while we're at it =-=

then what happens when you do a zrun and you are buying a zhelm. you get enormous amounts of exp if you are a high enough lvl. the idea is good but could use some improvements

WOW, this is segregation at it's worst. You know Hitler made Jews wear stars to identify them from non-Jews right? Welcome to Nazi-Maplestory

Unless you hit Zakum, ou don't get exp. And to get exp just from being high-leveled, you'd need to be within 5 levels of him. If you're at level135, just go earn one.
