Although Foss is being a little hyperbolic, having someone to shoot buttons for you during a run is rather asinine. In the majority of button jumps, even if a demo can do it without any assistance, having someone shoot the button for you will save time. Having a friend shoot the buttons can also make jumps significantly easier. A great example of this is jump 13 on elysium. If a jumper has a friend shoot the 3 buttons he or she can just fall straight down the hole instead of having to spend time trying to hit all the buttons and strafe into the small hole. This assistance eliminates the difficulty of the only challenging jump on the map. Furthermore, needing this assistance for wr is not exactly fair. Not everyone can convince someone to be ready to shoot buttons for them while he or she grinds a map for hours on end. I hate to use shiver as an example due to my blindingly apparent bias, but it is silly that if anyone wants to even try to get wr on the map he or she has to have someone standing at jump 13 spamming rockets at the button that will allow anyone who stands in the trigger to be teleported to the end of the jump. It is impossible to beat Soup Can's time without having someone do this because this skip saves about 15-20 seconds. I feel that there should be some kind of change; however I do not think that reporting these people will work. What if someone happens to be going through a jump at the same time that someone else is? The offender did not intentionally cheat, yet he or she now has saved extra time others cannot without breaking this possible rule.
