But is it actually cheating though.

It's a simulation, not actually the game.

it may temper you to the situation, and think "That this is just like in the simulations"
making it easier.

But it's not actually in the game.
it's like what that one CC says, does that make discord a TPP, Does that make twitch a TPP during a World Race.
Does that make the Housing Simulator<By itself, with no intent to move into the game>, or the Glamour sharing websites TPPs?

It does not.

The whole "You do ____ for ___, ___ does ____ for ___. They are not the same."

Using simulator is cheating (it gives you an incredibly huge advantage, way more than any 3rd party tools), but yes «*its legal*» lol

"its cheating to practice at poker before going to the gambling table"

This analogy makes no sense. Cheating is defined by having an unfair or dishonest advantage. Particularly when competition is present. Anyone can practice poker before going to the gambling table. Whether they choose to do so is another matter. The same can be said about video guides for a trial or raid. This does and will give players an advantage over those who have not, or do not use those guides, but everyone has access to them. So a player who chooses to go in blind when these tools are available aren't cheated; they've deliberately chose to gimp themselves. Apply that knowledge to a combat simulator.

I just googled it, cause I've never heard of it before, and correct me if I'm wrong it looks like something anyone could use pretty freely.

Yea everyone can use the sim. For some mechanics it only really makes sense to train with a full group of 8 but it's freely available to everyone.

I might give it a go for 5 minutes, find it pretty neat, then never use it again

It is legal by ToS and it isn't cheating.
