If you sit there and level a mage to 150, I dont see why you cant let a new character of your leech to a high level.
You already did all that training once and "accomplished" something, why have to go through it again?

[COLOR="Indigo"]In my brief stay on GMS after I reached fourth job, the idea of selling leeching was just beginning to be popular. I came back for a while, intending to leech-level a friend's inactive char (so I could use it myself, hehehe) and had many people ask if I would leech them. I said no each time, due to my complete inability to play for more than an hour before growing weary of "training."
In any case, I'll say this: if you're going to afk and leech experience, you won't be able to do ANYTHING later in the game. afk +leech is not something I like, regardless of if you're paying for it of if it's free. The only exception being if you've approached a friend and they agreed to it--after all, you can thank them later ;]
On the other hand, if you're at your computer, interacting with the person leeching you (looting is certainly a nice thing ;]) I don't have a problem with it. For that same reasons I dislike priests who use HS botting to level. Yes, I know it's not easy to level as a priest but that doesn't mean you should be allowed to walk away from it >.>
Overall though, to each his own. I'm not going to attack those who agree to leech others. It's not harming me much =p

[COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"]People getting leeched levels faster than the ones that doesn't leech.
Well, I leeched from a friend before. I'm a priest though. Most priests leech until they're level 120. I find it hard to level without leeching on a priest. EXP is like so dam slow without leeching.

Leeching...
If you can't train or have the patience to be on a computer for countless hours, just stop playing this game. Leeching makes your character WORTHLESS... then people ask why these high levels don't know how to boss. Of course they don't, they got leeched while they were busy "having a life".
Bishops/Arch Mages should find people who want to actually TRAIN instead of leeching useless people.

Technically, "Sharing an account" means (I'm not too sure what this means in NEXON's eyes) having more than one person playing on a single account at a time. This would also include playing other people's accounts.
However, unless you gave your account info out to the person who's PLing you in this manner, you're still the one who's "playing" on the account.

This also isn't account sharing because you're playing on both of the accounts.

[COLOR="Red"]Of course I used my both comps
Leeching is... you let someone train for you, and sharing an account it's almost the same, earning EXP ... getting helped by someone else[/COLOR]

what do you guys think of me leeching a few times off hh.
Its free and only cause he offered it.
And meh its fun cause hes so much higher then me we never getta chill.
so we sit and pwn hh. well he pwns it
Leeching. - rassilon - 2008-10-07
Well, I voted "against," and I dislike leeching (and leechers) for the same reasons I dislike botting and other means of cheating. Call me old-fashioned, but I play my online games in a sportsman-like manner. In baseball, you don't have someone else bat for you and carry you as they run the bases, then let you touch Home Plate to score; in golf, you can't have someone else play while you follow them around in the cart, then go tap the ball in and claim the score as your own. That's just silly.
We all play this game in our own way, because we all value different things. To me, it's all about what I can accomplish. If I let someone else do the grinding while I hang on a rope and suck up EXP, what have I accomplished? If I buy mesos from gold farmers instead of earning them myself, what have I accomplished? Squat. I'd get no satisfaction from it, and to me that's what playing a game like this is about.
If I get to level 120, it's under my own power. If I ever have a billion mesos (hah!), it'll be because I earned them. I'll be able to sit back and say, "I did this!" I'll be able to feel good about what I've done, because I did it.
Leeching. - Manda - 2008-10-07
I'm against it for the most part. A lot of us who got to 12x before 2x cards were even released, and even before 4th job, did it the hard way and feel proud for getting as far as we have without being lazy and throwing mesos around to sit on our asses and watch numbers grow. If you find it too hard to level yourself then you're doing it wrong and playing the wrong game. There's something nice about knowing that you've achieved all of your levels yourself.
Leeching. - Kranzorbaken - 2008-10-07
but if someone offered free leech or just a few hh leeches whilst you chill with them.
is that so wrong
Leeching. - John - 2008-10-07
I remember when the Scania Party section of Sleepywood was just threads of "B>leech." When that happens, I think that's too far <_<
Leeching. - Darklai - 2008-10-07
I'm old school, back when the real pros were alive and well. I'm talking before 4th job, before 2x and 30% scrolls. Back when people would grind hard core at squids and at Ludi to reach 14x.
I'm completely against leeching. I don't like it. I think it's proving how much of a 'useless' or 'lazy' person that is. I see it the same as the excuse hackers use to hack: "I have a life". Granted, people aren't hacking, but they aren't earning their levels which I find disgraceful. :\

Kranzorbaken Wrote:but if someone offered free leech or just a few hh leeches whilst you chill with them.Well, I would have to say it's not totally wrong. You're not just sitting there getting EXP for nothing, you're spending time with a buddy. Assuming that's not the only way you train, I wouldn't say it's extremely bad. You're not sitting there for 4 hours while he kills HH, are you? You do level your character by other means, right?
is that so wrong
This is a similar case to me going to Papulatus with a 14x guild mate. Yeah, I hit the thing a couple of times and got a small amount of experience, but he did 99% of the work and mostly I was just trying to stay alive. (I failed, BTW.) Did I get some EXP from it? Yep, although I lost it later due to dying.
Now, you can't just hang on a rope at Pap, but if I had survived I would have gained 5% or so from that (I think). So, you could view that as leeching, from a certain point of view.Hell, I don't even see Priests as "leeching" if they are with a party and doing nothing besides providing buffs and healing -- after all, that's why we have Priests, isn't it? They get some EXP from healing, they benefit from Holy Symbol along with everyone else, so as long as they are actively contributing (not botting) I've got no problem with that. Some people say that Priests do nothing but leech, but um... it's called party training.
Leeching. - Kranzorbaken - 2008-10-07
yah well i cant do it yet.But no by no means am i doing it for hours on end.
Maybe like 5 hh's
and i lvl normally grinding the good ol way.
and lol i died like 3 times from freaking bf >.>
he died 3 times aswell got ss's for later blackmail...(jk on theblackmail)
Leeching. - IcyGreenTea - 2008-10-08
Reminds me of the f/p mage I saw yesterday at Leafre, a leech buyer.
He was standing in town sealing and medi-ing.
I reported him for botting.
I think that showed my attitude for the topic.
On a side note, I think leeching is not very different to hacking. Except someone else is doing the attacking for you.
