Explioting the game vs smart tactics?

Dear Bungie, At long last I am turning to you in hopes of alleviating various concerns within the game that are soon to tear our clan apart. We are a clan that prides ourselves on playing the game legitimately without utilizing the large amount of exploits that are currently being used today. Some of these are evident such as pushing Atheon off the map as they have been publicly denounced by the Bungie team and attempted to be patched. Others such as pushing the Templar off the map are obvious simply because they fall within the same spirit of those already denounced. We as a clan have already kicked and banned several members for pushing these issues of exploiting the game, but there have arisen several concerns about our tactics to date. Here are some examples of things that we have done and some that we have seen other players do: 1. When the Templar summons it's legions all players get to a hiding spot and simply wait for the legions to despawn before returning to their positions to guard the confluxes. (Spirit Bloom chest cave and pillar located just across from it) 2. On the nightfall moon strike, using the second room back to snipe Phogoth as the other two players move up and back hitting him with rocket attacks then retreating back (This tactic is something that is often done on every nightfall strike) 3. There is an area behind a rock at the Nexus that if you stay behind and duck out on occasion to fire on the Nexus, none of the spawning Vex can get to you. 4. If you stay up top at the Nexus and one person watches for the spawning Minotaur coming from the rear, the other two Guardians can peek over the ledge and attack the Nexus with little danger. 5. On hard mode in the VoG, five Guardians stay up top at the spawn point to snipe oracles and attack the Templar while one Guardian goes down below to destroy the two back oracles, kill the Harpies, and take down the Templar's shield. 6. People leaving the fireteam during the nightfall strike after death in order to respawn back in alive. 7. Hiding under the ramps during the boss stage of the Mars nightfall strike. These questions constitute just a few of the questionable items, but it remains to be argued whether some of these are outright cheats or simply smart tactical use of the map layout. Some of these are even stranger when they have appeared to have been dealt with in one area but not the other, such as the spawning in dead in the VoG but not in the nightfall strikes. We're looking for a little guidance from the source in an effort to define whether some tactics can be used or not within a clan that is desperately trying to not be the ones who are accomplishing victory through "cheats". We know it takes time to patch these things, but I can't tell you how detrimental it is to your game to see unskilled or uncommitted players stealing save points from other so that they can huddle in the back of a room as someone pushes the boss off the map and walks away bragging about how they have some of the most coveted gear available. We understand this is just a video game, but that doesn't change the fact that it truly takes away from the experience. In closing I'd just like to say that we truly enjoy the game and hope for it to evolve into something monumental. Best Regards, Shiv
