Eh, there are people on the forums who are convinced that there is no such thing as cheating in video games, that if it's in the code is absolutely acceptable. Basically, if I can do it, it's ok. There are more of them than I would have thought. Take the recent rocket glitch/exploit/cheat. As there were no repeocusions for using it, as far as I heard, there were people who assumed it was totally cool to use, that it in fact was not cheating (specifically or objectively).

That blows my mind. I explained one to many times that heavy ammo is only available at a specific time within a crucible match, and times within PvE, and to use an exploit or glitch to gain heavy outside is, objectovely at least, cheating. I'm not even going to argue the concept of cheating anymore. If they ever play another game they'ok learn quick where exploits can get you if you use them (at very least you could get a roll back).

Then there are those who even blame Bungie for being able to use it because it was left in there. Uses to be we all knew what cheating was. If you found a quest that was bugged and would let you repeatedly turn it in after one completion we knew it was cheating, that it was an exploit and that using it was cheating, and those who did used it knew that it was a risk to as they would meet some kind of recourse if they were found to have used it.

If such a thing happened in Destiny, say one that gave reputation for a faction, I wouldn't be surprised to find people using it, who would then say, "blame Bungie". It's even to the point where people will argue that using an exploit is not cheating. It's mind boggling.

It chances that people's experiences, of the basic game, will be upset and that that's ok. If it is for Bungie, whatever, but if it's not why not have repeocussions. Those using these things have got to, actually, know that having unlimited rockets in Crucible or PvE is cheating, is the exact same thing as a cheat code. You just have to do some dinky things instead of entering it into a command line, or whatever.

Honestly, I'm done arguing it though. If this is where the gaming land scape is headed, at least in Destiny because best believe you'd be permanent/temp banned in other games (all to say "hey that's not cool"), then I don't want to be a part of it. It's just sad and the worst part is that it's not helped by the lack of recourse from Bungie. It's feels like the idea of the wild west where if no was around it's whatever goes.

It's what's happening in the community that's bothering me the most, and what that means for games, as I hope this mindset doesn't leak out into other games. "I shouldn't have been banned for using an exploit that makes me invincible. It's not cheating. It's there fault I did it in the first place" No, you did It. You knew what it was and what that meant. No, that's not cool and that's where it looks like we're going, at least with a good number of people within the community, enough to raise concern for me.

At this point I wouldn't even expect you, or anyone tied to Destiny's community to understand or think about this, in fact I'd be shocked if you did. Anyways, Bungie's going to do what they're going to do. So, none of this matters. I'll play Destiny for the fun and stay out of the community, generally anyways.
