    If nothing is going to be done about leeching can we add power guard and three shell leech. In old school GMS, you can use powerguard on mobs and any character within 5 levels of the power guard would get full exp. In goby maps, once they use magic cancel, snail shells would hit them and you can get exp.

    It's in old school GMS and this server is GMS like right?

    If nothing is going to curb mage leeching, might as well allow attacker classes to leech also. Give NLs/Warriors, etc. the ability to boss leech at big foot, anego, samurai, etc. Why should only mages be allowed to leech. There are 5 classes in this game.

    ...Something is stopping them from leeching there? It's just more of a hassle to find leechers and trying to get them to understand what's going on, at least in the case of BF. Most boss leech isn't afk either.

    Unless you want something that looks like that video, which I really hope isn't the case. Level 30-40 in 3 and a half minutes? That looks like bug abuse.

    Those leeching methods are not allowed in this server. In the old GMS days, it was possible, though unconventional.

    As to leeching, we never once said this server supports leeching strongly, nor do we discourage it. In a sense, it's just a method on how a player grinds/play this game. Many see leeching as a form of income in an unorthodox way, while some disagree and think it's making the server "dead" and unhealthy. We have no intention of changing the leeching system since we do not exactly advertise on this.

    It's not intentionally by me removed, but I have not seen a single server where this method works, so its most likely an exploit because Neckson's way things work is whack. If it was possible here I wouldn't have allowed it anyway, because you need kill yourself and a couple of other things, which is clearly to me an oversight/exploit.

    In GMS, it didn't require the PG user to die, rather they let the PG user die to maximize exp and to prevent PG from over-leveling. I agree that even in GMS this method was ridiculously unbalanced and am glad it's not here in ML. It made bigfoot hunting the absolute most toxic and contested area of the game. (It made the current Anego quarrels look like a tea party. Who remembers ping-pong rushing BF in ks wars? Rampant hacking? Whisper-DoS? Map crash hacking? Channel crashing? All for the lucrative Bigfoot PG leech)
