Been asked many times before and same answers apply
its 50/50 to what answer is as anet wont state which is corrects -
1 opinion is leechers increase drops by being out of drop range and other is they dont affect.
Untill anet verifies its a question that will never be answered.
Btw does anyone else ever roflmao at the "professional leecher lfp" cries in rata sum - how many runs of leeching does it take to reach that uber leet status :P

It doesn't make any difference because the following are all exempt from loot scaling...
Skill Tomes
Passage and Insight Scrolls
Dyes
Rare crafting materials
All gold items
All green items
Special event items
That leaves you with...
Whites/blues/purples as negligible merch fodder
Gold coins (autosplit)
Common materials (don't drop in raptors)
Lockpicks
Monster collectibles (saurian bone)
The only net positive about having someone else in the group are potentially faster rezone times. Whatever you would get as extra drops generally speaking either aren't worth much or aren't the target item for the farm anyways. Pretty sure I have enough "experience" to say so one way or the other

i just wanted to say i think i started the LF Pro leecher thing (im w/n) :P
always get like 20 pm's when i say it.
@Impulsion - its worth taking them as they can zone so you start right by portal in rata sum instead of the teleport spawnings.
and last, they dont appear to affect drops. they take gold when that drops but again thats rare. i havent collected any data, and only raptor farmed for event items, but i havent noticed any difference.

I've done runs both with and without leechers, and the drop rates aren't affected at all.
The only thing that a leecher can do is increase your zoning speed if and only if they have a better ping than you do, otherwise, /resign is a much faster option.
If you get coins as a drop, you actually lose more than you gain from splitting it with your leechers iirc. I don't get that many gold coin drops and it's been a while since I bothered with leechers, so I might be incorrect on that point.

Leechers come out with u into the zone and take the bounty so that they benefit and get asuran points, but they stay far enough away so that they do not receive drops. Supposedly, this will increase ur drops. If you wish to have a reliable source of information on whether or not it is beneficial to you, I suggest you do personal testing.

Not for me, approximately same drop rates with/without leechers.
As far as faster rezoning with leechers, /resign is my friend, after a quick zone out/zone in of Rata Sum in the beginning of the first run.

yeh i seem(this is totally exsperimental, bear in mind) but whenever i bring at least 2 leechers i seem to get some kind of rare dyes the first 3~4 runs. By that i mean i usually get at least a red dye the first run, but usually it starts decreasing.(ie. i start getting blk dyes, then the next its white then red. then after that it doesnt matter much). thats ust my personal exsperience w/ raptor farming. I try to not do it as much as possible and do other things, so that i can get great drops when i do it. just a word to the wise ^^.
