if you miss that day only and someone did your fight i think it’s ok but there is a difference between this and 4-5 guys doing all the work for the 25 others. I wish i had 5 account you would cry your mom and say it’s cheating 🙂 ---

I don’t know how long it would be possible for anyone to hold such a pace. ---

I think it’s ridiculous to say it _isn’t_ cheating (when done to get an advantage, not to replace a missing person), but it’s a minor form of cheating that probably isn’t worth enforcing rules against in a competition with such low stakes. ---

How will you get better, if someone else is doing the fights for you? Stream them and others can help, but it is always better to do them by yourself. ---

It’s always better to do your own but it’s ridiculous that there’s still no provision for people having holidays, (heaven forbid) or any other family rl situation that might mean you can’t play. So personally speaking I see absolutely no reason why you couldn’t get someone else to do your gw battles for you. Whether it’s a guild mate or other family member. To even think it might be thought of as cheating is absolutely ridiculous. ---

Yeah like i said doing 1-2 fight for someone else cause he can’t do it is totaly fine in my eyes, what i mean is if the 6 best player decide to split the job to themself and play EVERYONE game, this is cheating imo but there is no way dev can detect it so keep going if it’s what you do 😛 ---

Sorry for reviving this post, but some players in the Italian community asked if the devs could give a reply to that question. @Cyrup @Saltypatra thx! ---

They have, in other similar posts (there are many). Sorry, i don’t have time to find and link it. Maybe someone else had the dev response saved or bookmarked. Edit: this was said in regard to using mixer to share the game controls with someone else, and let them play your guild wars. Encompassed in the statement is the acknowledgement that people share accounts, and it isn’t against the rules. ![Screenshot_2019-05-03-13-30-54~2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/2/2/227203de494cecd872e732977eea1790c0f61cdc.png) ---

If you need somebody to play your game then just stop playing period. How are you ever gonna learn how to play if you continue to let somebody do it for you. ---

> [@JARON](#): > > You need somebody’s help to do that for real? You kidding me right? Me? If there’s a really awkward starting board that has multiple extra turn opportunities for an empowered enemy troop I would probably consider posting a screenshot on the guild Discord. And I’d definitely engage in a discussion if someone else were to post a somewhat similar screenshot. It’s a really neat puzzle, figure out which move likely hurts the least, if someone else has better arguments you’ll have learned something about the game. ---

I wouldn’t call it cheating, but it’s pretty weak It’s like getting help in a word search puzzle and then claiming “I finished it!!!” ---
