There are a few problems with that definition is that it is very subjective and all creative us of game mechanics would be classified as exploits until bungie makes their call on the matter, as well as it is a catch-all most likely defined the way it is to ensure all creative use of game mechanics had a negative connotation associated with them. Now that definition is not from any dictionary but rather a book on game design: Developing Online Games: An Insider's Guide Now if we were to use the real definition of exploit that is used in dictionaries(http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/exploitation) It removes the negative connotation as well as hopefully making the discussion more civil and possibly even bring more thought provoking ideas and rational to the forefront. Hopefully you agree with me that name calling and bashing others is not the best way to have a deep and thoughtful discussion. Especially when talking about developer intent, game mechanics, level design and how it interacts with gameplay. I understand that having that type of art house discussion can be meaningless as the devs will do as they please. However if we could have such a in depth and thought provoking discussion while remaining civil think of how less toxic the community may be. So if I may ask would you like to help lower the toxicity of the forum are try with me to have a in-depth civil discussion regarding game mechanics, level design, gameplay, and developer intent?
