I read a lot of posts bashing other players for how they play a game. If you use this character your a noob. If you use this gun then you must suck. If you cheese then you are not a real gamer. This whole, " How I play is the only real way."
First, anyone with an elitist attitude about a video game has issues that I am sure cannot be helped here. Your way is not the best way, the right way, or the correct way. It is simply your way and the importance of it ends with you. If you need someone to tell you how awesome you are then call your mom because I'm sure she's use to your insecurity.
Second, if it's in the game then it is meant be used. I find it ironic that most of the people who preach against cheesing because that's not how the designers intended it to be played also judge others who use items created by the designers to be used. Stop your hypocrisy. If it's there to be used then its there to be used. If you keep getting killed by it don't whine about your inability to be good enough to handle it. Because that's what the designers intended.
Third, using exploits has always been a part of gaming. Yes they are using a flaw in the system. They did not create the flaw. They simply use it. I don't prefer cheesing. I like battling it out. Have I been with a group who cheesed? Yes. Do I care? No, because its a game and I am here to have fun. I do not place my personal identity or worth in a video game.
How you play is your business and I hope you have a blast doing it. If you rank over me because you cheesed. Awesome. Ill catch up with you shortly.
Those that feel they are the say on how things need to be done.....your insecurities are oozing out of you.
Edit: I appreciate all the positive comments. When I first started playing Destiny this forum was filled with positive ideas, tips, and comments. I'm no gaming Boss. I'm an average player. I learned a lot from here. Now its a bitch fest. Sure we all have pissy moments but there is a lot more then there use to be. It is good to see the positivity and support. We do not all have to agree or believe the same but we do not have to be hostile to each other for it. I hope you all, even the ones who trolled me for this post, have a great Christmas.

So true. I have random gears. I have no idea what goes best with what. Hell I don't even pay attention to gear stats but I still manage to take out some good players at the crucible. Oh that moment of joy when you get revenge on pros.
-
No reason for posting this, Honestly I think someone got you butt hurt.. lol
-
This is possibly the most sensible thing I've ever read on here.

I don't judge how anyone plays... Just sad the community is taking on cheesing as a whole. I'm like you, I prefer to battle it out, but those I play with disagree so I stopped raiding all together (as you said it should be fun). And though I don't hold it against them for cheesing, I don't understand it. If they aren't having enough fun to play it as it was intended, why play at all??? I'm guessing the answer is "the grind" and at that point, Destiny is an addiction... and IMO less of a game.

Dropping Internet connection to get the hardest boss in the game to kneel before you is not a tool that should be used. Of you're as smart as you think you are then you'd be able to see this clearly. It's like playing pinball and breaking the glass so you can move the ball with your fingers. Might as well not play the pinball then. You need to be a little more elitist to rid yourself of that pacifists mind set.

Actually it is everybody's business. Using an exploit to give yourself an advantage over everyone else is not fair. Do you remember the Vex Mythoclast? People cheesed so much that just about everyone has it because the pushed off Atheon. That gave them an advantage over people who didn't have it.

There may not be a best method for everything, however there is always a more efficient way. I seek the most efficient method and enforce it, if you don't learn to follow, you're only disadvantaging yourself.
-
Indeed. Gamers of today are by no means the same as the way of old. I blame the parents.
-
Agreed.
-
No, how I play is the real way. Which is not for the last 2 weeks.
-
This just sums up all my thoughts perfectly!
-
What I can't figure out is why anyone cares so much about how I play the game. I say play the game and if you're having fun - you did it right.
-
Well said.

Are you on PS4? You just found a new friend.

'Cheesing' Crota is an Easy way out.... a cheat is a cheat whether you call it whatever you want... its cheap and dirty. You only cheat something if you know you can't complete it.... 27,28,29s completing the raid via Cheating is DEFINITELY not cool... that's total BS.. i don't condone that activity at all... Cheese the raid if you wish but at least have the balls to beat crota correctly, he's the easiest -blam!-ing part of the raid!!!!!
-
And if they get banned- that's also their business.
-
Testify
-
But somebody's right to play how they want ends where mine begins
-
I chose to play with an elitist attitude; your logic has been destroyed. Also, warlocks are for baddies that can't stay alive in raids. Get on my level

GODDAMN MOTHER-blam!-ING BUMP. BUMPITY BUMP BUMP. I honestly cant stand people whining about the game features that were PROGRAMMED INTO THE GAME FOR US TO USE. No developer gives you a gun and says, "here's a gun that we made, your not supposed to use it". They say, "here's a gun we made, go piss off some 12-yr olds". Seriously, people need to accept that the game is not going to change because you dont like how others choose to play.
-
Probably the best thing I've seen on these forums. Well said.
-
anyone and I mean ANYONE who takes video games seriously other than people who make them need mental help. its just a stupid game.
-
Dont tell me how to enjoy my game! If bungie tells me to enjoy something I DO IT!

Unless of course your the type of person to cheese the forums by just making sh!t up. ;)

I agree however if I see anyone camping in the nightfall spots on strikes I will make it my mission to either push them off it or just annoy the crap out if them

Well said! As long as people are having fun and not messing ur game up. Who cares!
