Slightly off topic: "leeching" does sound a bit derogative. What's so bad about either only using the transport or only doing supplies? The system is open, so why do you want to ethically restrict it so that everyone is supposed to balance out usage and provision?
Ryzom was intended so that folks could either focus on crafting, or digging, or fighting, or exploring, etc. And if you want to do something you cannot by yourself, you find a team. The New Horizon transport system builds on that idea, imho. Some need the dapper or points and supply. Some need the transport. New Horizons appeals to different playstyles. I love that idea.
I'm not ashamed to be a user of the transport, without ever having provided materials. Everybody has the freedom to do as she pleases - within the rules of the society. There's never been a rule discussed before that one single player must pay materials to use the transport. So please do not imply that in your discussions.
