Cheesing is very popular among the Destiny community. In fact, it's popular in every game but the term "cheesing" has gained it's infamy in our community. I've cheesed before, but I never supported it and it never ceases to amaze me that the people that do so don't get reprimanded or better yet, suspended or better yet for severe offences or frequent offenders: BANNED! My criticisms of cheesing began during the era of "disconnecting Crota." This was something I thought people should be banned for due to the prominence of literally pulling out your Ethernet cord to glitch a boss, but alas, the devs were too soft. Now before you tell me that I'm insane, let me enlighten you with some events in which this happened in another game. In WOW: Wrath of the Lich King, the world's first team to beat the raid glitched the boss by intentionally avoiding one of the mechanics. The team was subsequently stripped of their gear and raid completion. That kind of consequence for not playing legit I believe should be used in Destiny. Although many of these have been patched, let's say hypothetically that they weren't. Let's look at possible punishments. :
1. Mild case (Cheesing Templar, Atheon or bridge, heavy glitch): A warning followed by a week long ban for frequent offenders
2. Moderate case (Lag switching Crota): 3 week long ban followed by lifetime ban for frequent offenders.
3. Severe cases (Hunter glitch, Heavy glitch in PvP) are usually dealt with.
So I think I've made my point. I'm certainly open to listening to different opinions or suggestions. If you agree, let's bump it for Bungie! Good hunting Guardians!

Edited by Kone19ps: 7/2/2015 9:30:14 PMYour definition of cheese is pretty broad, but I like how you define it a little. For example I don't consider lag switching Crota cheesing. It's just plain manipulation and should carry a small penalty. Not huge like pvp manipulation but like a week temporary ban or something unless there is repeat offense. Cheesing like the bridge is fine and just bungies responsibility to actually fix. Seems they have just gone with the raid will be irrelevant with time anyways though so no need to fix
