Do something about leeching characters

Such an initiative would need to be defined and driven from above the admin level. The question isn't as simple as it may seem.

[Haboe]

there are players that just like playing in rags...

Both sides will on average have an equal number or peasants, so if they wanna waste their time by no really playing... their loss...

[CrazyCracka420]

So you're saying it's cool to have useless people on your team?  I don't care if someone wants to run around naked with a decent weapon (they aren't being useless), it's the obvious people running around with a torch or a butcher's knife for their whole generation that I'm referring to.  They contribute nothing to your team, and the other argument is, because the useless people are balanced evenly (which they aren't) then it makes it okay?   

There's a recognized problem (at least we think the devs have acknowledged it) about there being more gold in the economy than is preferred.  So you start seeing all these gold sinks ("free" respecs, titles, blacksmith services, lottery, etc), which don't address the root cause of why there's so much gold in the economy.  Why not go directly to the source of the problem?

39/3 Wooden Stick is pretty effective as well as being a gold farmer. Furthermore, there is a great pleasure to be derived in beating armored knights with "real" weapons silly with such a weapon and build, shaming them thus.

Im rolling in 70K worth of gear.. horse and throwingweps is the main cost..

And do not really have any problem with upkeep.
There is a slow trickle downwards..

But that is easily offset by selling a loompoint or making a trade now and then..

Leeching gold or farming is just stupid..

[Teeth]

Can't be arsed to do the calculation but I am fairly sure that 20k worth of gear, which allows you to compete, doesn't make you gain much less money than going full blown peasant. Especially considering you can actually help your team achieve victory or get valour.

[Clockworkkiller]

I don't have any concrete suggestions on how to fix the problem

Well, dars ye reason right der.

It's not that thy devs allow it, it's just it's so hard to combat and regulate that they cant implement a good system

[sF_Guardian]

Stop that stupid hate towards peasants already.
It's a matter of style and roleplay and ofc of freedom. Why should certain weapons be forbidden to use in cRPG just because some people think they're useless?
Your way of playing this game ain't the only way to have fun in here, get it.
After all you should be happy about "easy" targets to backstab with ur lance that you also can just bump to death in like 2 or 3 bumps on mediocre speed (you are lancer cav from what I remember).
But yeah, continue to be jelly on those looms and money and whine like a boss, won't change anything.

I just don't see any reason for forbidding certain ways of playing this game.

[Necrorave]

Sorry to say, but on some of my alts I enjoy using shit gear.  It is half the fun when you use shit gear and still do some damage.

Take ArysOakheart and I_am_a_Tree for example.  Or anyone who uses Stones to do damage.

So I personally think your idea of "Leeching" is off.  Just because someone likes to play with shit gear does not make them a leecher.

So not only do we have millions of QQ threads about nerf this and nerf that, but now we have people moaning about the people using the crappiest stuff too!!!!!

Troll thread

[Taser]

This is when I log onto the server with my leecher char and still be in top 5. Spiked club ftw.

[FRANK_THE_TANK]

Their is no point in complaining about people using peasant gear.

I can wear full plate and ride around on a cataphrac and do the same amount of damage as I would with, throwing axes, throwing dagger, crossbow and a long Volouge. I bet if I make a 36/3 practice sword user I'll do just as poorly.

It's pointless to say "I lost because some player on me team aren't as good as some players on the other team." Totally pointless argument.

Well most of the people who endured and stayed in this community are people who have some sort of need to bitch, moan, QQ and whine. I just wish people could shut their damn mouths and try to enjoy the game without trying to mess it up for all the others who actually just can enjoy it. But no, nerf this, nerf that, MOM IM DISPLEASED PLLLLLZZZZ NERF THAT, I'm a fucking whiny nerd please change my diaper 

And know this. Oh nooooes my team lost now everyone who haven't good enough gear must put on gear of my choosing or get banned because I'm such a fucking bitch that just can't play a fucking game without QQing.

For my own sanity I will stay away from this shit-stained part of the forum. Suggestions Corner? More like QQ-Corner
