So, we all know that people leech because they're lazy. But what about the people who want to be the top leveled people in the server as fast as possible? I don't have a bishop on a different account so I can't leech myself, and I sure as hell can say that I've never leeched before on my Evan. But leeching is obvious: You afk while someone else kills, or you kill while you afk on another computer. But what about letting someone else use your bishop while you kill as well? That's not technically leeching it's training together, but in the end it's still a technique that levels faster than leeching. Why are people OK with this and not leeching? In the end, you're still playing the same time if you're self leeching. People I know leech themselves while training and call it training. It's worse than leeching. In my opinion, it's only considered not leeching if the leecher actually trains there and is not your own account. For example, a level 160 bishop at galloperas, that just doesn't cut it. It's obvious you're leeching. A level 200? Well now we KNOW you're leeching. Leeching's purpose is to get levels fast for some people, and since I'm in competition with some of the Evans in Windia, I find it pretty unfair that you're getting something better than leeching. Then again, I'm just jealous you guys have leeching, whereas I have to grind. If I had leech, boy would I abuse it

To avoid any possible allegations of leeching, I just try to avoid training with bishops at all and train with people around the same level as me. And it's sorta sad how leechers always go "HAHA U R JUST JEALOUS CUZ I LVL FASTER THAN U". Indeed, all my problems are due to me not being able to NOT actually play a game and let others do it for me.

Disgusting. 75% of people either encourage or don't care about leeching/leechers. Out of the 25% of the people that go against it, 80% only do so because they don't have the option. I haven't met over 20 people besides myself in my five years of Maple that actually have the option of easy leech but choose not to.

You can only leech if you have tons of money; you can only level quickly by training with 2-8x Leeching/Insane Leveling= Heavy NX/meso funds

My theory is that everyone that says they don't leech, is a lie. Everybody has to leech at least once in their maple life.

0-0 I leech my own chars with my own bishop. I deserve it for suffering the training to become bishop. End of story.

I don't mind leechers, but I do get a little indignant when someone flaunts their level around. NOTE TO PEOPLE WHO LEECH: Don't brag about your leveling. I seen so many arguments start. Keep the peace and Leech responsibly *cue the Budweiser commercials*

I have no problems with people leeching, but I do have a problem with people who bash on leechers and who also train with AMs/Bishops.

[quote] Fryman : theres no way u can level once per 20 minutes at 100-120 without leeching or 8x. [/quote] No way? 4x can do it. How? I find an HS partner at gallos. Three hit KO earthquake gallos hit 5-8 monsters depending on level in full map. Each gallo is like .12%. HS partner lures gallos. I earthquake. 20 gallos per lure. 2.4% per lure. Each lure 30 seconds. 25 minute level up. This was at around 115 or so. It doesn't remain at 20 minute levels but there's definitely the simple possibility.

IMO! Theres a VERY FINITE line between leeching and fighting: Like you said, you can have someone use your bishop while you kill, you're not leeching as you're not just doing nothing on the weak char and doing all the dirty work on the bishop. That also does not mean that you can do 1 hit every 10 mins or so and still not call it leeching. Leeching (to me/IMO) is when a high lvl (particularly 1-2hit bishops/AMs) mass kill so a low lvl char and mass lvl. The finite line ends when the bishop is only there as a healent/ mob helper (mainly healing/hs or SR) or HS or altogether, while you do the more % of killing of the mobs. That is MY opinion on the diff between leeching and nonleeching (party)
