For now, it is illegal.
It could be changed by Zen, but I highly doubt she'll do it,
as she wanted the game to be one of activity.
And after 2 years, a radical change like that would just feel weird.
It still is outside help. I don't know. I'd say no, but I've been here for more than a year now with the regular play style, so I might be biased.
In the other game, sitting doesn't limit activity/participation though, because as I had mentioned, the sitters action would be limited. So say if you wanted to use credits or purchase armour, weapons or implants, you would have to do that yourself.
In certain cases it also had the effect of increasing signup because certain people knew that could not play the game 365 days a year, cause for work or family reasons they could not log on for a month or two straight. If not for the sitter option, they would have just stopped playing the game, or just not signed up in the first place.
For example, a couple of my friends were sent off the Afghanistan, and so were not allowed to use the military computer to play a game. It is kind of an extreme example, that most people here would never face, but people could probably think of other example of people being kept away from the game for extended periods of time.
