(First off leave this post a like so more people see it!)
To start, there's an area towards the end of the last mission where you can exploit the spawns of enemies and loot chest. For instance, when the fallen and hive duke it out they each have their own spawn points, a small room and a small cave. As they're battling you can go in these rooms, along with a couple of friends, and just keep spamming your powers as they continuously re-spawn. Every time you use your ability, you'll generate 5 orbs for your friends, thus allowing to use there abilities infinitely. It's a huge glimmer and xp exploit, and needs to be fixed come release or everyone will have 20,000 glimmer in one day.
The other exploit is the re-spawn rate of the loot chest. In the same area I'm talking about, there are spots where 3 silver chest always spawn, allowing you to farm them. This can be done in many other areas as well. Maybe make it were they don't re-spawn every minute. Enemies tend to re spawn to quickly as well.
I know for a fact Bungie didn't intend this, and I hope they fix it immediately. Please comment on this so Bungie can see!

Bump.

The chest "routes", that are randomized by the way, but have regular spots you can look into seem to be intended for glitter/loot grinding. The event mentioned starts what, every 30 minutes if lucky? Is i cheesy? Sure. That's a fairly normal part of loot based games. They are hardly breaking the bank on an event that has a random timer and a set number of waves. A grind train is noting evil if, again, not a bit cheesy. But imo nothing to fix.

I agree that the money making and the treasure chest, loot system need to be looked into. I did the same today solo with that enemy event. Was sick already but when a group keeps spamming powers on the enemy spawns its getting really absurd how much you get out of it... Its just completely out of line how much you can get with this method. If anyone disagrees on it just try it. There are already videos on youtube about it. So you can see how and where its done. Then throw in a ether seed and glimmer turns into something meaningless in no time :D but great for now if need quick several thousand glimmer for a new ship etc Did it with a titan with a upgraded super for that floor aoe that stays for a while, and the ugraded nade that does damage over time. A upgraded warlock could farm it even better. Sounds fun, but the enemys just die when they spawn so not much of a challenge(for a group). So it really doesnt looks like intented... On the other hand you do that aswell in the devils lair, drop damage over time stuff on the enemy spawn in the first room and nuke them in seconds...

Good spot! I'd make this same thread in the feedback forum though! Happy hunting!

Well this should be fixed! It's funny that people would use this when the game comes out, so sad. I prefer to play it legit. That just ruins the experience.
