Where is the cave your talkin about?
-
Just go to the Skywatch area of Old Russia. I guarantee there will be at least one other person there doing what you need to do to exploit the cave. Literally can't miss it.
-
Farm, not exploit. And it's not the only place, just the most well known and most used.
-
You don't understand the definition of exploitation.
-
Apparently you dont... an exploit lets you gain something from a mechanic not implemented in the said environment... killing for loot and spawning are core mechanics of the game. An exploitation would be to follow someone around wile not shooting just to gain free loot from their kills... therefore you would be exploiting their respective use of the core mechanics of the game... you can do this on any spot that has a spawn or responsible area... responsible timers just vary from place to place so some are more efficient than others...

[quote][b]exploitation[/b] - [i]noun[/i] the action of making use of and benefiting from resources.[/quote] [quote][b]exploit[/b] - [i]verb[/i] to utilize, especially for profit; turn to practical account: [i]"to exploit a business opportunity."[/i] to use selfishly for one's own ends: [i]"employers who exploit their workers."[/i][/quote] You're [i]exploiting[/i] a design flaw in the game that allows you to gain high-level items while effortlessly and repeatedly killing low-level enemies in an area where they happen to respawn at a significantly faster rate than any other area. There is no possible way that you can think this was done intentionally. That someone at Bungie said "hey, you know what? Let's make a spawn room where enemies spawn so quickly, you can effectively farm them for high-level gear without ever touching high-level content." I guarantee it didn't happen, and while they may not care that the end result turned out that way... it doesn't change the fact that taking advantage of that oversight is an exploit of a flaw in the system.

There is no way to tell as bungie has not conferred nor denied it... and like I have said b4... it's not the only place that does that... just the most common... Secondly, by that definition the hole process to gain loot in this game is an exploit... there is no difference between me sitting at one spawn point and me sitting between three spawn points... the rate at which I kill enemies will still be higher sitting between three bc there are more enemies spawning. I still won't have to move to kill any of them... and of we weren't mentioned to kill lower level enemies then that would have been a game mechanic. .. meaning you would only be able to fight enemies of your level... Like I said the game revolves around kill=loot possibility. Your theory of exploiting the game is merely opinion at best without confermation from the creators...
-
As I've said... you don't know what it means to exploit something. Either that, or you're being deliberately obtuse. Either way, I'm not going to repeat myself and reiterate the truth God knows how many times to someone who simply refuses accept it.
-
I know what it means... but I also know the difference between exploiting and farming... the game is designed to farm for loot... and by the definition you yourself so happily provided... would indeed be as I put it earlier, killing enemies in rapid succession is what the game is about, it's what it's designed for... however the people who follow/ camp people who are doing the farming are exploiting the people who are actually taking part in the game because they would be gaining an advantage for not participating in killing enemies. You can try and spin it any way you like but it is still an opinion. You did not design the game just as I did not... so therfore, just as my statement only opinion, in the end so is yours... only when the creators shed some light on it will be proven as one or the other... And though this debate has been fun and I'm glad you have been a good sport about it (and for that I thank you, really). I'm going to go put the rest of my time into the game and will no longer be responding to this or any post for the duration of the evening... I wish you luck in your gaming endeavors and bid farewell.

Sry for the double post, phone lagged up... and was trying to say respawn not responsible. ... But yeah if loot farming is an exploit then the entire game is an exploit. Otherwise they would not have implemented random drops and all gear would have been only obtained through quest/strike/pvp/etc...
