Clarification on Cheating

[CaptainGreenGene]

I agree. For those of you who think this is an easy task
try just sitting there with your pistol shooting nothing
but lead shot at lvl 35 raiders and Gypsys and see how long
you last. You have to know what your doing and have
the right lvl and skills set up for that. This is far from the
easy way to do things, it is in fact difficult to do well.

I dont see that as cheating but... WOW

I asked DIsney the EXACT same question. But I clarified it by itemizing a few conditions that the OP didn't:

What if the person who is using the mouse isn't even there. S/He has set up the mouse, and the pirate, and has walked away from the game. I also clarified that the pirate in question may be using a wall glitch, so that the enemy cannot attack back.

Disney's response is that:

They cannot detect the type of mouse that is in use. They can only detect that the mouse key is being activated. As such, there is basically nothing that they can do or say.

So, I guess the OP is correct. Cheating is in the eye of the beholder. Leveling, and making the leaderboards thru AUTOMATED play, and not actually being there playing the game, is totally acceptable.

well if you are hiding in a wall and leveling and not even there... then I see that as cheating. I'm not a glitcher or a cheater so I'm still gonna say .. WOW

Yes you are correct on all parts of that statement and thank you for bothering to ask. Most players are unaware of the real game rules, they play under falsely imposed rules to their own detriment. Since I have asked this same question several different ways and have received similar answers it is my opinion that it is acceptable. I have discussed this with the guild I run and as I tell them all I like to think of it using this hypothetical. If you have something that can make your life easier, hypothetically lets say a way to speak to someone instead of type to them you would be tempted to use it to speed things up since typing is tedious and time consuming and speaking is much easier for most people.
This method of training is no different it just speeds up the process and takes away the tediousness.
As for the hiding in walls, that is to avoid interfering with the game play of others since the raiders and gypsys can go through the wall too(so can stumps on Outcast and undead pirata on Cutthroat!, wall glitching is however frowned upon and I do apologies for that. The last time I stood in the open bad things happened to me) And to clarify I was not invincible/invulnerable, I took normal damage just like everyone else except I was standing out of the way of traffic.
If only everyone was so thoughtful of others gameplay.
