What SE Has Done RIGHT with the Updates

[Rosina]

Acron leeching is bad. It is rude. no way around it. Players doing the work of others is rude. And yes it is rude. I dislike joing a party in ANYTHING and see 50% (not made up either i literly saw 1/2 a party be afk.) It also does slow the exp rate as less people killing slower the kill rate, slower the exp flow. Not to mention how many "healers" are afk. And no i'm not mixing up the two, Been on this game for years to know the difference. Leeching was bad once and you did get kicked for it. Some of what you listed isn't leeching just so you know. Key people are still doing work... though not killing mobs they are infact opening boxes so they still contribute. Holding KI or pops isn't leeching cuz you are contributing to the party. Leeching means you do not contribute at all, you just sit and suck what ever is there exp, items etc w/o putting any effort into it.

As I said, you're mixing up things.

Key people are still doing work... though not killing mobs they are infact opening boxes so they still contribute. Holding KI or pops isn't leeching cuz you are contributing to the party.

You know what I find funny, people complaining about skilling up when it inreality is their fault for leeching.

So people who "contribute" in ways that aren't combat somehow don't have a skilling problem? Keying boxes gives you skillups? You were the one who said people who need skillups are the ones who leeched, so either you consider people who contribute another way (holding KI, keying, paying, etc.) to be leeching as well, or you're contradicting yourself.

No one gives a crap about people who afk in parties. "Leeching" is a commonly accepted term for people who do not fight in a party, regardless of their contribution. And that affects a large majority of people who level any jobs these days, because almost everyone either pays to have their jobs leeched to 99 or gets their EXP from friends' KI cleave parties.

Abyssea has been out for almost 2 years. People leech exp (in abyssea and other areas too) one way or another, but nobody says you have to leech. You can also just leave an exp alliance in abyssea if there are too many people leeching.

Get over it already. Quit beating the very very dead horse.

as for skilling and leeching, even XPing without leeching you get your lvl faster than your skill, +lvl synced skill+ jobs that have use for several weapons......

I call this kind of quote "Starcade-ing"
Who is this hypthetical group of "other players" that are being taken advantage of? Can we include full pink DNC that parse 1% of total damage in the group of leechers?

I forgot about that feature that lets those damned dirty leechers join parties without a leaders permission, taking advantage of everyone!

edit: Ya know what Rosina? I'm sick of this. "Leeching is Bad", well who the heck are you to tell me what is good or bad? I'm playing the game SE designed, NOT YOU. Hmmmm should we listen to some crazy girl who constantly spews incorrect game mechanics and advice or should we listen to THE DESIGNERS OF THE GAME.
Hint: People do not like being told what to do, especially by mediocre players. Perhaps if you started playing the game like it was 2012 instead of 2004, "Rosina" wouldn't now be a synonym with "retarded"
