Sadly the prevailance of leeches has become a common occurance in Fort Aspenwood.
Since Arenanet seem reluctant or unable to do anything to limit this practice I think it is up to the playing community of GW to take their own action against this practice. I think that players with Leeches in their teams should star leaving the contest and leave the Leeches standing there alone and finding they have to do something to actually earn faction points.
Yes it can be tedious at times to accrue faction points. But if you get 2 evenly matched teams the challenge to win can be very enjoyable.
SO LEAVE THE LEECHES TO EARN THEIR OWN POINTS

Today I was doing fort aspenwood on Kurzick side (need faction to explore and cap elites) and we were up against a group with 4 leechers. The 4 normal players left pretty soon and we had a lot of fun.

Yep, it's really too bad, even though most of the usual ones use third party programs to simply click enter battle over and over and over while they aren't even there. Ruining countless people's games that could be fun and enjoyable experience, to a lame, frustrating, crappy one. I've seen some people play through even though there's 4-6 leeches on their team, acting like they aren't even bothered about losing, but is this something people will always come to expect?

I heard a leecher talking once before he/she activated whatever program they had, and here were some of the reasons they gave to leeching...

"This place is a joke anyway"

"Did you lose? Yea, that's why I leech so much here"

"Because I hate PvE, this place is just for you PvE nublets to get faction, and me to get money from it"

.... Then went on about some pompous garbage about how leet GvG and HA were and blah blah blah. He/she also admitted that they were 19 years old, and how smart leechers were, but I stopped listening after that.

i wonder if you ever get 8v8 With all leeches? :P

yes nobody likes leeches, you know what i hate more? a thread every few days saying exactly the same thing

(ANd FYI, Leaving will just accelerate the rate at which the leeches gain faction, as it only takes one human on the other team to win quickly)

Yes this thread has come up a million times, and no, such things really dont get me very excited, but it is quite F****d up that anet havn't acted on it yet. Its not as if it'd even take much time or resource to monitor.

@ the OP:
There are enough threads around (like this one you posted in a few days ago) that another thread is not really needed. Closed.
