Is screen sharing boxing?

Sources say Rampage uses screen share

Now send this thread to RnF..

sirken said in his stream that people use bind sight on an afk tracker and that person then skypes the call to entire guild so everyone can watch the spawn location. No idea if it was rampage, tmo, IB or what.

Thanks everyone for all the discussion. AFAIK it's currently legit. As others have pointed out, Sirken wouldn't be able to stream if it wasn't. I think Sirken's stream that Oleris mentioned was the first I'd heard about it.

On one hand, I think you're "playing" a very significant part of another character by remotely connecting to another computer, viewing their output and using it to make decisions. That involves two boxes and two accounts.

On the other hand, it's been compared to SMS, voice chat and all the other "not classic" communication methods we use that are not banned. So, it's valid to describe it not as "playing" that other character but simply communicating with them.

So, I'm still somewhat on the fence with how I feel about it, but leaning toward the latter.

This.

Whats gonna get u busted, is if its discovered the afk char was logged in by someone playing another char. And there never was a diff person playing the tracker. How would they get caught? No clue. Maybe afk trackers will start magically getting disconnected from time to time. Don't care. Nerds.

If you don't escalate the VP sock situation each week, then you are losing.

This is hilarious. 6:25am. Is this your morning cup of joe?

[Oleris]

just make sure to do it 15 seconds before the dragon spawns

Remove variance. Problem solved. It's not classic anyhow.

[Haynar]

I agree with no variance. It only gives an illusion of being better.
