This has been suggested before, and it most likely will no happen due to it being an easy cheating method amongst players.

 

I can admit I would ghost for my friends, would never work way too easy to cheat.

Way too easy to "cheat".

 

Yes, me and my friend could go into a game, have me die, then I tell him where everyone is. Cheating.

 

-1
I don't want survival games to be called ghost games.

 

^^^ This pretty much sums it up.

 

Exactly, we would be adding insult to injury.

 

+1 If they were to cheat it'd be a pain in the ass to setup and it does almost the same thing as Hunter so I am all for this!

 

There's one flaw with this. It's the same thing that mattybillo mentioned before, which is ghosting (aka Spec Blocking). If you have ever played on a server where they have spectating, and you get in the way, you can cause arrows to "flop" and hits to not conmect by "standing" in front of a user while spectating. This, knowing how many people on ECC's SGs hold some sort of grudge(s) towards other players, I could seeing this being more of an issue than a benefit to be honest.

 

Same as hunter? Not really.
Scenario : Player X and Player Y are teaming. X dies. Y is now alone, this can lead to either two scenarios with X, his friend, spectating:

1. It's a kits game, and Y doesn't have hunter. X would go around and telling Y locations of players, leading to me, and several other hunter donators to be pissed off, as they spent money on hunter, and turns out it was a waste.

2. It's a no kits game, no hunter can be used. Oh , X is spectating for Y!

I've put my main points in bold, only to make it easier to read.
Another thing with spectators, it spec block. A term used when a spectator goes infront a user that is trying to snipe, to block the arrow from hitting their friends.

Overall, -1.

 

Cheating is not making the game more challenging, it is giving some players an unfair advantage over others

-1

 

Apparently when kit buyers give kits to their friends, that is not cheating, but when people are spectating and telling friends where they are, it is? First, remove the ability to talk so they would be required to use a 3rd party system, and less people will stay to spectate.

Is it a really unfair form of cheating? How many times do hiders with nothing win SG? Not at all or often. What about non hiders? Well, they're probably looking for others so would not mind seeing other players.

Are kits fair to everyone, can you cheat, can you have an advantage? Yes to all of them, and it is no different from this. Except here, the cheating that could be done is minor.

 

So you want people in SG to cheat?
This is all have for you:
