My nag on Endgame cheese. No real rage, just why it is frowned upon.

Don't get me wrong, in certain circumstances I can almost understand why one would cheese an Endgame activity. Sure you may have a family and are a casual gamer/weekend warrior/have ran the raid a few dozen times and simply seek one last piece of gear. Everyone wants to be recognized for their achievements and wants the goods for the effort. I'm not speaking of some Roc strike/etc. Just Raids in particular. However it is Endgame, it is made for those who seek a real challenge, you know as soon as you see that Skull in the Director exactly what you're going in for. Where's the pride in finding something anyone can get? Case and point these recent springs of Crota cheeses, barely two weeks in and people have found exasperatingly creative ways of cheesing these otherwise fun and low-time taking activities. You're hardly saving any real time unless your team cannot perform the feat without finding the handicap in the same manner a man can do hard work (and may get shafted on occaision), or decide to live a life of robbing rich senile folk who can't defend themselves (and then having the gall to defend it saying God didn't directly intervene so it must be left alone, cops shouldn't be allowed to stop you.). If you can't do it should you be able to reap the benefit? There-in lies my qualm, sure the loot is RNG but the drops are pre-decided based on the activity. I guarantee you if someone spends an egregiously long time at a currently working Cave they won't see as many rewards as a lad going through a Roc playlist in that same span of time (in most cases, it is RNG afteral), even then most of that gear won't be as useful as the gear earned in what's supposed to be the biggest challenge currently in-game; Crota's End where the vastly improved drop rates have been seen as many who've defeated Crota have received weapons and many more have armor acquired on the road. I am the later, cursed by the 360 commune's love of cheesing if I hear we are about to do something too ridiculous in one such activity I boot me and my Gjallarhorn to orbit.

    I play how i play, others opinions are moot. That said they need to fix the reasons why people cheese first the fix the cheese.

    • It's not illegal it's just frowned upon, just like masturbating on an airplane.

    • The problem with this is... THIS GAME IS NOT CHALLENGING AND NEVER WILL BE. unless you go for the flawless raider achievment, that alone is the only thing that is a significant challenge in this hallow shell of a game.

      • I will be doing non-cheese runs on multiple characters a week... Only inviting people that actually want to do the fights... Much more fun and rewarding. I posted a similar thread here: http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/85757543/0/0 I absolutely agree that the exploits are making the game terrible.

        The thing is, at least to a point.. After you've beaten crotas end a few times it's just boring to do it legit over and over again. Can I do the bridge legit, sure can.. First time I was in the area I carried my fireteam through it once we figured it all out, I had the best guns for dropping gatekeeper and I was good at kiting things to stay alive. Now that I've done it 6x across teh characters, it's no big thing at all. Once it stops being challenging, it stops being fun and honestly, if I'm with a group that CAN'T do it, that' just frustrating because it's not that hard.. I'd rather cheese and get the gear, regardless of who I'm with. It's not fun to do something 45x over and it def isn't challenging at this point. Other cheeses, can be more annoying. The chalice glitch, isn't worth the time it takes to do it. If a group is doing the fight correctly and a good sniper is SOLEY shooting knights in the face (and never looking at crota) then no one has a reason to get shot essentially. You have plenty of time to "pass the drink" between sworbearers and a while waiting for Crota. When I get in groups that want to use the lock revive, I sometimes leave after a try or two to kill crota, because there is a VERY good chance it's a bad group and they don't understand the mechanics involved.
