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
