Just out of curiosity... how is it that clerics and low level priests are able to "pocket leech" (whatever that means) at Gobis? I thought you had to be within 5 levels of the monster being killed to leech any exp in Maple. Is this not the case in this server? Level 60 character can leech off level 85 monster?

I agree with you about the low spawns. Mobs should spawn at least as well as GMS if not better IMO. However about taking away heal exp... you just answered your own question. If this is true (and since I'm new I don't know if it is)... it's not just a little bit unfair, it's game-breakingly unfair. Just healing your own alt mules and gaining crazy good exp? That's insane. I've never heard of this happening in GMS, not sure why it's happening here but if it was, Arnah was absolutely correct in getting rid of it. The fact that people have to spend more mesos on MP pots to spam-heal their own mules, doesn't matter. When you buy leech from 4th job bishops in some other servers, you pay more mesos also. Doesn't mean that buying leech from bishops is any less stupid gameplay-wise, just because the person has to spend more meso.

1x has nothing to do with it. Doesn't matter if a server is 1x or 50x, what matters is how much easier is it to level up by leeching off a high level mage versus training your character yourself. I used to play on a 1x server, run by Nexon. Leeching was everywhere and obviously a problem. That's because 4th job mage ultimates (Genesis) made leeching ridiculously overpowered. Now the people at Nexon who created these skills understood that they were OP, so they put a restriction on them by making them use huge amounts of MP. That would make it very expensive to spam these skills and thus players will have to use them sparingly. (and you can tell they thought along these lines, because they then came up with another skill called Infinity which saves you MP for a short period of time) What's funny is that some OTHER people at Nexon came out with new % based potions like Ginger Ale which heals 75% of your HP and MP, and had pot shop NPC sell them at low prices. So now with these cheap % pots you could spam mage ultimates with impunity (at least if the person you're leeching is paying you for it, which in most cases they were)
