The things which give a player an advantage over another player:
- spending (more) money
- spending more time
- having more experience (or being a faster learner)
- being in a more helpful alliance
- botting
- multi-accounting.

only the 2 last are illegal; but multi-accounting gives the same advantage as being in a helpful alliance and botting gives the same advantage as spending more time.
