[edit] Faction leeching

Faction leeching is done by joining teamplay PvP events that is meant for players to fight against each other. A faction leecher may do this by just joining and waiting, or by walking around to avoid getting noticed. Fort Aspenwood, Alliance Battles, The Jade Quarry and Random Arena are places that people may faction leech.

[edit] Item/Gold leeching

Item Leeching is done by joining PvE teams and collecting drops from monsters that other players kill. An item leecher may also wait until other players leave to collect items they left behind. The Fissure of Woe and the Underworld are places that people may item leech.

[edit] Other leeching

Players may look for some leechers to help. If a player won't get hurt by the accompaniment of other players, it is a kind action to invite other players to join so they get ranks too. Raptor farmers are a nice example of this.

[edit] Reporting

Should you ever encounter a leecher you can report them by typing /report and selecting the "leeching" checkbox. If 5 or more people report a player, they will be punished by the Dishonorable hex.
