Well, my understanding of "ghost-mode" is that the 'ghost' doesn't
have to be high level.  A group of players could have one of their
members suicide and then scout the way for them with impunity during
their first run through.  That seems a bit too easy to me.  At least
web walkthroughs, power-leveling, twinking, and ebay require someone
who figured it out without help in the first place.
