That's exactly what they were doing and why it was stopped.
Not really comparable events. I'd say it probably isn't as fun, but at the very least still requires some skill from all involved. Giving each other the answers over Discord? Not so much. There is no excuse for what happened during that game of scribble.
You know who else enjoys participating in events? Most of the playerbase.
Do you also know what happened after that game of scribble? We decided to only host scribble via queue. So again, like it's been mentioned time and time again the only people ruining anything are yourselves.

Sumo does not require skill when you have 15-20 people from an event guild in a sumo event. Goodluck to anyone that doesn't have any friends with them to help. It may not be cheating in the same sense as scribble but I would still say it provides an unfair advantage to event guilds. Only way I see this issue being resolved is if there's an established set of rules for each event on what to do and what not to do.
Also, I agree that scribble should only be a queue event. Like I mentioned, it can be too easily abused and people will help each other as they do in sumo. I do not condone it and I do regret my actions in that specific scribble that I was in but other people would have done the same in the future so making it a queue only event is for the best.
And while we're mentioning cheating, I think the most obvious blatant cheating in events is when people pause. There is nonstop people in spider pit who pause in order to avoid damage for a set amount of time or for the entire event itself. This also happens in sumo like tensor mentioned. It completely ruins the event with no skill involved and has been an issue for awhile now and goes completely ignored by admins when it happens. Yes, cheating by helping each other is not right but allowing people to do something even worse, by pausing and getting a free win, is even worse.
