I'm not defending cheesing crota. Explain to me though why bungie doesn't fix glitches that cheese players? Why do they have a system that rewards people from being AFK? Xur who sells the same exotics for warlocks over and over? That impacts the fun of other players and has been like that since launch. Why does crota not go down sometimes when his shields are gone? Why do we have to reset our exotics and artificially extend the game?
The problem is players are starting to feel tired of chance and glitches determining everything. I've read endless posts about the lowest guy with kd is getting exotics on here. Players are tired of getting cheesed of their efforts. That's why we're seeing more AFK and cheese.
Cheesing crota is the symptom...not the problem. When a player begins to feel their effort is pointless they become part of the problem and play to the weakness of the game.
Again...not defending it but looking at the reasons. If bungie starts fixing the system instead of player reaction the players will change their behavior.
