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!

1 ReplyIn your first sentence you invalidated your argument. And no, they shouldn't punish us for cheesing. And here's why... Most of us cheese because Bungie hasn't fixed any of the raid-breaking bugs (Like Crota walking into your starter room for the boss fight and shit on your fireteam, or having Atheon moving the entire fireteam to another dimension, or the bridge on CE looks like it's there but it's not really and your team falls through it while walking across, these are just some of the super-bullshit bugs). As soon as Bungie fixes those game-breaking bugs, then most people will stop cheesing, watch. I've only done 2 CEs and I hated both of them because of all of the game-breaking bugs. In both of these raids my fireteam and I had to cheese the bridge because it refused to appear for the 6th guy everytime. It wasn't fun. On VoG ( I only completed 2 or 4 times, I forgot) and it wasn't fun (the bosses weren't fun) because the oracles would glitch and some wouldn't appear for us (you can't kill what you can't see) and we would get wiped over, and over, and over, and over, and over again. Then there were game-breaking bugs with Atheon too (because the invisible oracle bug wasn't shitty enough for us) where he would teleport the entire team to Venus or Mars, or where he would cage-trap the people on Venus or Mars, or the relic wouldn't appear for anyone, and there was that one time when Atheon was already dead but the game was saying: "Just kidding!" and teleport us all back to mars with no way back. Bungie, fix your damn game! So we have a reason not to cheese!
