Why are leechers so stupid?

[Boss_Awesome]

I've seen a lot of criticism of the new patch by people who say "You don't need to do anything to get money" and "there is no reason to try and win anymore".  Now it is pretty obvious that these people aren't too bright because they don't even mention the multiplier.  I'm not gonna bother wasting anymore time talking about these types.  What I want to talk about is leechers.  They have high level characters but don't wear much gear and don't try to help their teams.  They say they do this because they can make more money that way by avoiding upkeep.  What do they do with this money?  They don't wear gear so they don't need to buy anything.  They don't have to worry about upkeep so they don't need money for that... Why do leechers need money?  I don't get it!!!  Do they swim in a big virtual pool filled with money somewhere?

They rack up 200k then the next time you see them they are in fullplate riding a plated charger.

This.  I assume it's just the terribads saving up to crutch-mode a round with crutch-mail on a plated crutcher.

It is still stupid=P
If you have light gear that is not expensive and manage to get a kill now and then the chances for your team winning increase massivly since it is often about 1 kill that shifts the balance between loosing and winning....

+ its no fun at all not to play the game but just leech... i really don't get it. If you just want fast money you are better off even with light gear.

Yeah it's so stupid! One day I've been in the losing team for a lot of maps, even if I was at the top of the scoreboard, it's just because there are so many peasant who don't help me in any way at all. They should at least get a weapon. It's really not hard to get gold as normal infantry with a decnt armour and weapon, I play cavalry and have to pay 1100 gold upkeep for my courser!

I don't understand the leachers who stand around doing nothing even when its the same just to run in and get killed xp/gold wise.

Remove upkeep, go back to pre-patch xp/gold system, problem solved. Don't blame the players for following the rules.

I find the best way to try new weapons is to find them on the ground. If I start a round with my steel pick in hand I'm reluctant to just swap to a iberian mace I find lying there. Of course, it's completely undependable, so I'll also wear a robe as armor with boots and gloves in case I go 4 or 5 rounds without anything to pick up.

So am I leeching? Yeah. But im not "sitting around doing nothing."

You still get good money for attending... Multiplyer is just there for a bonus. So, AFKing is alot easier because you get gold, even if a little longer. There isn't a reason to win besides a bonus that you will lose soon.

Reading you rpost a bit more.. You piss me off. I won't bother to explain why because it's not worth my time.

From a tincans prospective would probably be: Even if we win and get more gold I still loose a shit ton for repairs. Not point in using it anymore. Maybe i'll use it every once is a while.

[Radix]

Just dont mix the leachers with peasants.... dont expect peasant to charge with a stick over his head just to die 5 sec later and then wait for next 5 minutes for next round(how fun!) peasant is a new player that cant do a shit in the combat - leacher is a player capable of combat but not using it's potentional fighting valors to help team win

[ThePoopy]

if you see someone play a game just to not play it, isn't it obvious that he is stupid?

What u don't realize is.I make good money in lamellar plus mail and a weapon

And the repair cost on mail kits and boots is neglible and even the lamellar is super low

Once I get a multiplier I incrementally upgrade to better set to try and get the big multi

I see five multiplier as a chance to bring out the full power of my character



And its like gambling "bet myself all"

PS old system sucked everyone sitting around jerking it waiting for someone to kill enemies near ur location

I mean on a five multi youcan end up 750 to 1000 richer

No, no, no.  That doesn't make sense.  I know they are following the rules.  I just don't get why...  I don't believe it is to get full plate/armored horse because that isn't even that good anymore.  Cav will do much better with coursers in the new patch environment.  Armored horsemen are swarmed and killed by fast cav very quickly.  I think that leechers believe that getting more gold is the end all of this mod, when it actually doesn't do anything except help you upkeep the gear they refuse to wear.  If gold got transferred to strategus or something I would understand, and possibly even join in.  However, as it is leeching just makes no sense.  This was never about peasants, i understand their need to leech their way into decent gear so they can play.  They should, however, try to help their team win or they aren't playing a peasant properly.

that's what you get by rewarding people who do nothing at all same as people who do all the work ...

the pay everyone system is totally counter productive to teamwork
You don't need do anything at all not move finger and still getting rewarded ...

i really hope someone realize that damage to enemy team should define if player deserve any payment
or capturing objectives etc. w/e really does job for team

[RandomDude]

the point is that if the leechers actually did something for the team they might reach the x5 multiplier more often which means more gold
