Increase in demand for "low-level leech" since New Source

The reason why people are getting leech is that there are no PQs (Pirate PQ, R&J PQ, CWKPQ etc) for 3rd job characters. Has anyone played in 3rd job after lvl 81? All you can do is grind or leech. You can try to kill HH when you are level 85+ but you're stuck with bossing HH until 4th job. It's depressingly boring.

On the issue of low-level leech, I haven't seen a lot of smegas selling/buying those. I don't think it's that common that it is a problem at this time. Most people just do PQs or train.

 

I was sort of just going of on a tangent there, thinking out loud I guess. This thread already accomplished more than most feedback threads anyways, so I was just pushing the envelope at this point lol.

I feel like I've made myself very clear in this thread, I'm not against people who leech, I'm not salty lol, I'm against the fact that there is a system in place that greatly encourages it.

Sort of like how I'm against fossil fuels because they're slowly(?) destroying the environment, but we live within a system that greatly encourages use of them (I *could* bike to campus everyday through the winter (grind), or I can much more easily drive (leech), but I'd rather have a great public transit system instead of either of those (PQs/other options to level!))

 

Low lvl leech has always been in high demand. In the old source gs 2 is full 24/7. Occasionally I couldn't find a map @ws.
However, if there is indeed an increase on demand, that may be caused by the fact that ppl stacked hundreds of thousands of nx before cash shop was enabled. People suddenly gets lots of meso thru gacha or selling ap resets. This encourages low lvl ppl to buy leech instead of granding. Or maybe ppl can now start out with a hp washing char instead of making a mage first.

 

I'm not an expert on coding and stuff, but I've thought of an idea that -if it's possible- could work for this discussion:

What IF there was a way to use the "Bonus Party EXP" to make partying better?
And, of course, make it only work if all the players are around the same level (Ex: >20< Levels Range)
Let's say something like this:
2 players togheter: +10% EXP (Bonus Party EXP)
3 players: +15%
4 players: +20%, and there goes on, to make a full party have an extra 30% EXP.

Picture from GMS:


I don't know if it's possible to do that here in Royals, because I don't know what was the version that it was implemented.
But it would be nice to have this, and would be nice to have full parties like old gms, like Duals and Vikings <3

 

I'm going to revise my thoughts on low level leech.

Now that LMPQ has been nerfed in the last update, there are very few or no people at LMPQ. In this server, we have a situation where LMPQ, OPQ and PPQ are dead and empty right now. I'm also seeing a trend where people are having to resort to smegas to find party members. It's quite sad that people prefer leeching than PQing at these levels. I highly encourage the staff to try to push for changes that buff up PQs and nerf low level leech because PQs are a great source of opportunities for many people to make friends.

 

Royals sure is a funny server to someone who's very used to grinding and thoroughtly enjoys it. Besides hp washing, it's a shame to see this is what the old maple community I used to know has declined into.

Promoting party play, PQs and grinding together should be considered as a huge focus of improvement.
