Are skype spectators cheating?

[DannyDeeto]

Yeah I have seen no one admit to this, personally I don't care. If you even take a screenshot of them. What do you think the staff are going to do. Why would you punish someone for what a majority of the comunity does.

I agree it can be good to kill campers

It's defidently not cheating, I do it all the time. It makes the game go faster and it's more fun to play with friends and talk during a game, it makes the game go faster because say u have full iron and a diamond sword (I've been in this situation so many times) and there are 2 other players left, instead of waiting till death match or looking for the last people forever a spec can just tell u where they are the game gos by faster. It's also not cheating because anyone can skipe with anyone else, there's no law against it and people who complain about it. Just aren't smart enough to make friends and use skipe

This is a discussion thread in the discussion forum. I'm not quite sure why you think it doesn't fit here?

It does have a goal.
My brother thinks it's cheating. I don't. I want to know what the community thinks.

Looks like you're winning

I think it gives you an unfair advantage. But still, i would do it myself if i got a good skype team together. It seems like a good tactic to win in my opinion.

I think its ok and dear hobo, I CHASED YOU LOLOLOL.

Well, its not technically cheating in our books. If we had a way to stop it we would, however since there is no way to regulate this we allow anyone who wants to do it, do it. I personally don't like it much, but we cant do anything about it.

Depends on the amount of people who are doing it, the fact is that skype teams are not against the rules and I think almost everyone has a buddy floating around as a spectator talking to them through skype so in the end, if everyone does it, it doesn't count as an advantage over the other people, but in the end a leveler so everyone plays fairly.
Also it is in a way more realistic just about every country now has satelites that do the same thing.

It should be allowed because it gets rid of the noobs who camp in trees from the start. Its just really annoying.
