I'd like to figure out what peoples' opinions on this is...

If it's cheating to use ACT's bot that gives players mechanic callouts, which are themselves limited and only really get into specifics when stuff is on the players' screen already (if at all), then would static members giving callouts to people also be considered cheating?

One is an automated process, the other is you bothering someone to give you the layout for you. Both accomplish the same thing, and you still need to know how to resolve the mechanic on both.

Is it not more cumbersome to, say... and taking something easy that a lot of people have done... take Construct 7's math thing. There are people with dyscalculia, and I do know someone whose issue was so severe she had issues clearing TEA's Limit Cut because she couldn't count. She had to resort to shapes rather than counting dots. When farming the Lighthouse, I had to resolve my own math mechanic and also look at her number and health in advance to tell her which number she had to go. And on one run, I had to do it for her and someone else who wasn't getting the mechanic. And I don't use voice chat, I had to type everything in.

Sure, it's a third party tool and that's a no-no. But if it's just to call mechanics out for people and give them a heads up on what they have to do, is it really cheating? Especially when you can replace it with other people, making it cumbersome for others to do so? Yeah, yeah, you're meant to go through content on your own... but let's be honest, even high-end raiders do call-outs. As I said: on both occasions, you still need to know how the mechanic is resolved. So you're really just automating the process, I assume.
