What I mean about an advantage is, if you're a solo player and you burn all your stealth and still haven't found a good target you can either take the best target you've found or hope a kingdommate is on and ask them to get the intel for you; whereas if you have a partner playing in the other room, you can just yell over "hey, grab me an SoT of this province" and then the partner yells back "60k to break" and then boom.

So in a way, playing with partners (even legitimate non-cheaters) has always been a slight advantage over solo players.
Petey, just because you're the only player using your IP address doesn't mean you can't get help from kingdom mates. If I need help, I go to IRC and ask my buddies to help me out. This is something every kingdom can set up. All you need is players willing to idle on IRC.
