Whats with this trend

What's with this recent trend of Kannas, Bishops, and Phantoms trying to sell their service at R & J now? I swear that's what 60% of them are doing at the PQ map. Most annoying part is, they're all below level 150, and most of the HSers won't even leave the map when you're grinding. They're practically trying to get people to pay to leech them.

Sheesh. Community, pls.

They're actually smart. And it's not even expensive to buy service. as long as people are willing to buy it, they will provide. it's just like nx lol

@vroomha: The only time I have ever done R&J I went from 70 to almost 120 in a little over an hour. Bishop stood in the corner and used HS the whole time. I have not done it since because I find that incredibly more boring than going out and grinding on [i]different[/i] mobs

@MeerCats: People are always going to try to make cheap money. Its how capitalist economies work. These people realized that others were willing to pay them to leech at R&J so they charge for it. If you don't like it then go train somewhere else

[quote=Lecarde]Grow a pair, suck it up, and shut up already. No one wants to hear you whine about it. You are spending virtual currency to pay for someone to help you level up. Even if they take some of the experience, due to party exp bonuses and HS on top of that you are still getting more than you would alone. Not to mention you already have it pretty damn sweet being able to get 40 or so levels in about an hour at R&J. We don't care if you feel you are being stiffed, truly none of us do.[/quote]

My apologies for coming off as whining, I was just wondering why this is the thing to do now.

[quote=MeerCats]Sure?
It's annoying to have someone in your level range trying to charge you to level with you.
It's even more annoying when you cave in to paying them, and they don't even leave the map.

In case you weren't aware, I'm asking why so many people are doing this now.[/quote]

Think about it this way. The tiny difference in exp you're getting(max 5%) is far outweighed by hs, not to mention that the person hsing could get 3-5 levels at the cost of your ~30%. Yes you are paying for their service, but if you really want them to sacrifice that much time and not level, expect to pay more

@x3Inferno: Oooo ok. That sucks
I like HSers, Kannas and leechers in general because they're the only ones who reply to me when I'm talking
But it's good to have a rotation so not everybody is leeching 100% of the time.

R & J is for people under level 150 so... I don't know what you mean by that?
Why would you want the HSer to leave the map when you're grinding? YOU NEED THE HS?[/quote]

He wants the HSer in R&J to go into one of the side room after he HS to not leech exp.

[quote=polypoly]What's the point if they join your party, HS you and leave? (For the bishop in this example) Some people [b]pay[/b] to have that exact service.[/quote]

If I'm buying HS service, I most definitely don't want the person I'm buying it from to be leeching aswell. The point of them leaving is to get more experience, not sitting around while I both pay them for HS, and level them aswell. Seems silly to me.

I want them to leave the map and not take away from the experience I'm [i]paying[/i] for.
If I'm paying for the service, then yes I would most definitely prefer a high level as i'd get more experience since they will most likely break the 40 level gap.

If they're within your level range, they take away exp as leech. It kinda defeats the purpose of paying for the service.

Isn't R&J 70+? Wouldn't you expect them to be under 150? The hell do you want, high level players to be there only to benefit you and if some low level players (Who are the correct level unlike you to be there) go there you get all salty cause they're under 150?

Really guy, pls.

Because its easy to level now and poor noob players think they can make a profit from this. Anyone who chose to play a cleric class because they liked it would never charge for their services.
