I have been wondering: what is considered Puppet to you?
I have been doing Team PvP on my LvL 30 Ice. I teamed up with my friend who was LvL 25 and another LvL 50. Was this puppet?
Please answer, because we won and I feel bad...
yes, this is puppeting.
generally, puppeting is defined as a low-to-mid-level player teaming up with a level 50+ buddy to gain rank. this is an exploit and generally frowned-upon, for several reasons~ including, but not limited to, the fact that level 50+ players have access to critical, which low-level players have no way of blocking and will kill them instantly. that mid-level team you end up facing won't stand a chance.
I'd consider it an unintentional puppet team. If you know the friend outside of PvP and you just play for fun then I don't think it should count against you though. After all, you are friends, and who's to say you can't PvP with each other once in a while?

Puppeting is not just when a level 1 pairs with a level 90 ( 89 difference), the way i see it is the guy was 20 levels above you. Though it is not the biggest concern in the puppeting world, I would say it would be considered puppeting still. To avoid puppeting try to pvp with friends 10 levels above/below you on average, if you were to do that match monthly, once a month, not regularly, i would not consider you to be a puppet team.
I consider a 2v2+ puppeting when there is more than a 20 level difference. Rank puppets are a different story. I've seen people not even 10 levels apart that are 800 points away from each other, because the high ranked player had the partner rank down in order to get easy matches.
