Everyone has been talking about how to fix leeching. I think I have a solution. (It has a few flaws but, it's better than nothing). What Nexon needs to do is to make it so that if you are inactive for 5 minutes (or some other amount of time, doesn't really matter as long as it isn't like more than 15 minutes) you are automatically logged out. BUT! A new feature they would've added called the AFK button can fix this problem. If you click the AFK button, not only will it have a small marking by your IGN if your buddies open their buddy list or the same with guild but, when you press the AFK button you stop getting exp from your party's kills. So, the short version is: if you sit there for too long you'll d/c, and if you press the AFK button you won't earn any exp. At the very least this would just be a great annoyance for leechers. What do you think? *EDIT* The d/c effect is negated in the Free Market ;P *EDIT* In all honesty, I have nothing against leeching. I leeched for about 70% of the lvls from 70-100. I grind and quest now. The reason i posted this is because when i looked at everyone's ideas i thought: wouldn't this be a better idea? (this meaning the idea posted above). so..... yeah.

Bravo. There will be faults which people will exploit.

So in order to leech you would now have to press a button every 5 minutes so you don't d/c? Also this seems really annoying when you weren't planning on going afk for long but you ended up staying away and get logged off.

@tomvrizen make it so it doesn''t happen in the fm. Also I think this idea is fairly good.

no, just leave leeching as it is, why do you want to patch it? iknow i may seem biased with me being an AM and it being my main source of maple income, but what does it matter to you if other ppl are leeching? in a way you should be happy, with them off to leech that leaves all the training places for you non-leechers to train at in peace and quiet, without having to start a ks war.

Why do people always think you are afking when your leeching. People will just move around once in a while so they don't get dced.

It's not like they'll just AFK now. Every 4 minutes, they will move.

Okay I guess, but I fail to see why the hell you guys want to patch leeching for no reason.
