I leeched from 66~70 because I hated WR so much, and it took forever on m marauder at cpq2, and people keep calling me a bandwagoner (no idea what that is, but since it's usually followed by something insulting or degrading almost, I'm assuming it's not a good thing) and it's getting annoying, and I really don't see what's wrong with leeching? It's not exactly "spoon fed exp" since you need to get the money some how, either merching in the game, or working out side of it, and even if it is spoon fed for some, doesn't mean it is for all, andif I choose not to spend hours and hours on a game training and just want to get to a higher level so I can have fun, and after all, that is what maple is about pretty much, doesn't mean you can call us names and stuff, I mean what kind of person does that? So what's your reasoning for the hate towards leechers, and don't tell me none of you have done it before, because I'm pretty sure at lesat a hand full of basilers have.

I don't mind leechers, I just hate when the bishop takes my channel.

You're a bandwagoner because you made a GS after Balance Patch, not because you're a leecher.

Don't worry about it too much. Most people that complain just feel that you aren't putting effort with the grinding aspect of the game.

I dislike leechers because I work so hard to reach the level that I am without leeching... And the hardcore leechers make it past my level within a week.

"lol u stupid noob u took 4 years just to get a 4th job? LOLOLOLOL it OnLy ToOk Me 1 DaY tO gEt To FoUrTh JoB LOLOLO me pro you are a stupid jealous nub ^_^ ^_ ^_^" ^ Those types of comments piss me off the most. >_>; Same goes for the "WAAAAAAH ITS TOO HARD TO LEVEL!" complaints, I trained 90% of my levels BEFORE the EXP curve came out last year, with crappy maps, and 2x + 4th job weren't even out too. I can very well afford leech, I just choose not to leech and I grind 100% of the time.

Buy a video game, give it to someone else to play the difficult parts, claim you're great at that game. That's what you're doing, scum.

[/quote] Exactly, its a game, the levels are put there for a reason, we worked hard to get through em, and all the leechers are just sitting there, just not doing anything.

i dont like leechers for a few reasons the am/bish usually would ks just to take a map so they can leech also leeching allows there to be alot of more middle-higher level characters which leads to less training maps available unless you got a mini dungeon

A bandwagoner is someone who conforms with the majority of society to fit in. It's really not applicable to an online game, but the idea works. As for leeching, I have not done it ever. Like someone else said, you're basically getting someone else to beat a game for you so that you can say you beat it. It's really pathetic in most people's opinions, and many leechers do brag about their levels. Whether or not you did is irrelevant, because it's what you inadvertently do by walking around on that character. I don't hate on leechers, I am even friends with some. Some people just become resentful and throw insults because of it. I just take pride in never leeching.
