Over the years I have heard it all..... Lets get a post going on what is or isnt a cheat.
1. Using tower guards to take down a gate, cheat or not?
2. Using Honor Guard to take a tower?
3. Placing flames, etc where they can not be hit, ie in walls
4. Being invisible when taking a tower
5. 8 80k rogues that take everything in 15 minutes with a 600 score (LOL)- guild hoppers
I have had all of the above used on me in siege, not to mention the obvious stuff, like flying over the walls....

1. Either they took a lot of effort chaining electric towers (Which you should 1-2 shot) or someone ran back away form the guards to your gate. Not a cheat, just lots of work, or a really bad mistake on your part.
2. No, thats the point of the Honor guard. Along with defending.
3. Position glitch, runewakers fault. To me its the same as putting it on the roof, cant be hit but not a cheat. Just annoying and jerkwadish.
4. Lag. usually out of their control.
5. Fail mercs who are bad at the game.

4. Actually, probably not. Rogues can take a tower in hide. Well, the come out of hide when they start the taking, but can go right back into hide while taking it. The other thing they can do is drop an invisi tower next to the tower while in hide (note the guards must be gone), then take the tower.

We had multiple alt guilds we signed up to let points drop and switched accordingly when the points became high enough that siege took longer than 10 minutes. The 1 hour block is a joke and doesn't stop anything.

Lol, everyone knows guilds that manage their points for easy kills, but I seriously think you are the only one who admits they're only good enough to enter 'sure win' sieges.

With that said, the only classes that cannot easily get a hidden rogue off a tower within 1-2 seconds are priests & rogues.
& this does not even include all the various dual class elite skills that can be used to get them off the towers... one of which is available to rogue.

I have to agree that it should NOT be possible for a Rogue to go into hide while taking a tower. That's just bull. It's not a cheat.. its just bull that it works.
Quoted from "ddpmacho;541918"
Can you use an invis pot to take a tower, I never tried? If so it's no different.
Also just to add, it's possible for every class to go invis while taking a tower. Why should it be bull cause Rogues can do it without taking anything with them?
Quoted from "Auros;541923"
You can also attack defenders while taking a tower. Same mechanism, as long as it is an instant cast.
Also, clicking the tower does bring you out of hide, however, you just click hide again to go back in. Note, you cannot do this if you are in combat.
Quoted from "Borella;541920"
Can't use an invis pot while in combat. A rogue can vanish, escape, w/e it is and hide then take the tower regardless of if they're in combat or not.
Invis pots shouldn't be allowed either. Clicking a tower should bring you out of stealth, no matter how you are achieving that stealth.
Quoted from "Borella;541924"
You can't hide, but you CAN vanish, bring yourself out of combat, and hit hide.
Simple, while the castbar for taking a tower is active, you should not be able to use any skills or potions that put you in hide.
cover me.
fix the tower cap cast.
