I like every word in this post! Thanks, Matt. And to Plenty, I don't think every bishop would follow, that's extremely unlikely. But Good luck!
The main annoyance I have with leech is this: At level 80, I went to wolf spiders to try and find a party to train. Channel 1, there was a full party- so I went to ch. 2 What did I find? A bishop leeching. Continue onto chan 3, all the way through 8- any channel that had people on it was a bishop leeching another. Eventually I found a party through guildmates and got to 90, and got the heck out of there. Now I'm there on a priest who went full support build (because I personally hate soloing as a priest until himes). Again, what do I find? Only people selling leech and MAYBE one party there. Most of the time even smegas dont find you a party. The same has happened for GS2 maps on my brawler- If it's not right after a server check/restart, a good half of the maps are filled with people leeching. That's the biggest downside imo, is the lack of map/party availability for people who actually want to train. I've moved onto FoG- but again, no parties there. So I moved to soloing at voodoos instead, since heartstoppers are always useful. When there's an imbalance of bishops leeching > people trying to train...that's when things are a little out of hand. At a level 70-80ish map, I should find people around my level range training with each other and partying. But mostly all I find are people leeching.
