Does this spells the end of leechers?

1. The entire point of my post was to argue how it should work. The fastest way to train should not be afking on a rope and letting a mage blast the screen. Lazy leechers shouldn't be training faster than is possible for a grinder who used that money to buy good equipment. If parties where all members contributed was the best way to train, I would be happy and would have nothing to say.

2. How do you expect a 3rd job Outlaw to train at Anego or Bigfoot?

3. There would be fewer mages at Newties if everyone wasn't clamoring for leech there. Newties is only one of the many places mages can train. Edit: there wouldn't be so many mages if they weren't so imba training wise.

Everyone does have an equal opportunity at equal leveling speed. It's called partying a mage. Everyone also has an equal opportunity to kill a boss. It's called bringing an attacker. Whether you buy leech or not, partying a mage is going to be the fastest way to level. Whether you take attacking classes with you to bosses or not, taking an attacking class is going to be the fastest way to kill it.

You and I are never going to agree on this one. I don't believe in this "one class should have a massive advantage here so the other class should be balanced by having a huge advantage there" crap. Bosses should require all kinds of classes, not just the ones with the highest DPS and a few supports. And training should be on a more equal level than is now for every class. Making a mage an absolute requirement for fast exp is stupid.
