Leeching is and will always be a topic debatable on the boarders of the cheating/non-cheating realms, such as the twinking1 thread3 in Atmaâs Tavern. Is the act of leeching experience off of another playerâs kills cheating/non-cheating? Is getting a rush to hell cows, or anywhere for that matter, cheating/non-cheating? Forget cheating â is it moral/immoral? What if everyone agrees its okay to leech and/or rush? What if everyone agrees itâs not okay? There will always be a difference of opinions concerning the validity of rather rushing and leeching are actually meant to be part of the game.
On a side note, there are plenty of real world leechers2 in todayâs day and age (just look at how Anna Nicole Smith became a billionaire), but from what Iâve observed it takes just as much effort to leech what you want as it would to just go out and get it. The ironic part however is that those whom leech think they are doing things the easy way.
I have also observed in real life that when a lecher gets everything they wanted, they are only temporarily happy. This happiness quickly ends and leads to boredom, even depression, as their ideas of a âperfect-lifeâ are fulfilled and they find their main goal in life has come to an abrupt end. How empty and shallow they must become. Truly what else is there once you have everything you wanted? I pity leechers, in Diablo and in real life.
Since there is also a topic on proper English in this thread, Iâll clarify the following words:
1 I herby recognize the following words as real-words in Diablo: Twinker, Twinking, Twinked
2 I herby recognize the following words as real-words in Diablo: Leechers
