		| Quote: |   Looking for something to make that Proximity Mine easier to see? Looking for a more realistic Deadeye? Well, XRA2X is the place to go! They've got close to 100 skins, and have recently added 4 more, which include: 
 
Blue-Green Nuke 
 
Fire Pick-up 
 
Red Fire Buggy 
 
Solid Snake Patch 
 
Taco Flame Tank 
 
Blonde Haired & Bikini Sydney 
 
Head on over to XRA2X to get them! 
  |   I wanne know what most ppl think about the pinksniper skins, the red stealth skins, the yellow proxy mines etc. 
 
IMO you make them easier to see so i consider it as cheating.

		A beter way for WS how they had to make it is like this: 
You can NOT overwrite  the skins WS made. 
You can only ADD skins. You will see an arrow below the picture just like the $1000 characters. 
So you will only see others using it when they have the skin. When you use the skin and others don't have it they see the default skin. This way you would never get that the "easier to see skins" were used so much. 
 
Its just a cheap "tactic" from ppl to use it.

		Well some skins are good others are not so good. I use skins that enhance the game.. 
 
The bikini Hotwire, the firetouched buggy, and the tatooed Sak. Those enhance the game. I see no problem with skins like these. 
 
However pink havocs.... neno green stealth tanks... those just spoil the game. I remember being a sbh running across the map then standing still for a second to see what was up ahead. No was around me no was shoot at me or splash damage. I was sniped I saw where the bullet come from it was across the map. 
 
That's just cheating. If any mod, or skin gives you an edge over anyone else in the game it is a cheat. Plain and simple. We all hate B2B on island.. Most servers boot for it some BAN. It's considered a cheat. Whats the difference here? 
 
An MRLS using a map defect to have an advantage in the game.. or someone with the ability to see stealth from across the map. Different it's doesn't take a mod or skin to B2B and we call that cheating. If you consider people with pink havocs and neno-green or even no stealth suits NOT cheating then you better let B2B happen. Otherwise your a hipacrit.

		Well, by the definition of cheating, to cheat there has to be a rule against your action. Unfortunatley, there isn't any offical rule against "bad" skins. However, using any modification that enhances your ability to seek out an enemy which would otherwise be semi transparent, is DEFINATLY dishonest, and dishonesty is no allowed on WOL. 
 
In my view, using anything other than the standard issue skins in a laddered game IS cheating. And I bet all the "best" players do it.

		I agree with people wanting to spice up the game a bit by replacing some of the available ones with alternates, but using skins that actually greatly increase your chanses of spotting otherwise cloaked units is just plain crap.
