My thoughts on leaching:
Leaching is not against the TOS.
I couldn't care less who leached and who didn't.
I think since you can already earn lvls with nx (2x exp) that you may as well be able to earn them through mesos (leaching) since after all mts is around to convert mesos to nx.
I don't leach anyone because I can make more mesos / hr merchanting in the FM or farming DM scrolls.
I do advise my low lvl (120+) mage friends to sell leach if they feel poor.
I don't buy leach because if I'm present I want to use my computer for something else (like playing) and if I'm not present how do I know how much they really trained me?
I leach my own characters frequently (even before 4th job came out I leached my own chars) because it's more fun to play the higher lvl char, faster exp for lower lvl char, because I'm playing on 2x drop with a char that the exp for that monster means nothing (0.1% in 4 hours) so I want to train a char that will get something out of the exp from that monster (so I can watch their exp bar and not the person hunting for the drops).
Buying lvls with mesos is no different than buying z-helms with mesos. Anyone who belongs to a z-helm selling guild who is against selling & buying leach is a hypocrite. If stuff needs to be earned in the game not bought & sold then this applies to z-helms and HT pendents as well as experience. If you think selling z-helms & HT pendents is the only way you can make money then too bad, time to change your views. No one wants arch mages in their zak or HT parties so they make money by selling leach.
As far as I'm concerned there is more than one way to win the game, if you win by making money and then you spend money to get ranks (which is considered winning by most people) then it's the same result as spending time training to make the lvls as opposed to making money. If one method is faster than the other or more fun than the other then you should choose the one you like best. Since Nexon provides opportunities to contributors of real $$$ to shorten this time then it doesn't matter if it's shortened by 2x exp, gatcha, pets, stores, smeggas, or buying mesos from nexon.
