Admins - is getting stats from the "player database" cheating or not?

Could be wrong, but I thought to use it in a syndicate war, you'd need to hit the opposing player anyway to capture their info.

Edit: this is a really dumb argument, and this topic is 22 pages too long.

You could be wrong considering that player data needs to be sent to both rival syndicates upon being matched to each other. Maybe not so dumb...

Edit: This topic has gone 22 pages without an official response from GREE. Which is what I'm most interested in. (Will agree, that's too many)
