Fact is, nobody can get banned. It's not a cheat. It's a glitch. Using glitches in games is very common and not a bannable offence. Crota is defeated like the game requires, with the Sword while he's down. All they'll do is fix it so Crota wont stay kneeled, that's it. They can't even pinpoint the difference between leaving and lagging out, so there's no use to even try it.
There's no direct modification to the game or server. Only an exploitation of an error which they clearly need to fix.

It's an exploit not a glitch. Glitches happen at random. Exploits are initiated with an alteration in the game. Exploiting is cheating.
-
Is exploiting a glitch cheating or simply glitching?
-
There two ways to do this one messes with in game server which of course you feel no affect from and another by pulling the plug so to speak by releasing your Ethernet cable at the right moment. Its a 'lag switch' so to say and it is a cheat.
-
This is actually a cheat rather than just in game glitching you're messing with a whole server not a whole in a wall

How is leaving messing with a server? People leave from PvP matches all the time. Wouldn't the IB1 be considered a cheatfest then as well? Cheats are direct modifications of the coding to give them an advantage or automatically unlock locked areas or items. This is why getting the Frontier Shell is still a bannable offence. Crota is brought down on his knees in a legit fashion and killed in the way the designers have meant. For some absurd reason, Crota is linked to the Host of the game. This is most likely a simply bad written code which is being exploited until it's fixed. This was probably even discovered when the Host of a regular game lagged out, where the rest of the team discovered Crota wasn't getting up again. That's why it's a simple glitch, no more. Enemies get stuck behind things all the time in games, which makes them easily killable. Just because it's a boss doesn't mean it's a cheat. For example the Warlock glitch where you can respawn at the last second so all enemies despawn. Faulty coding.

Yeah but if a guy leaves 20 times from a crota fight within 45 min of each other its safe to say he was doing the glitch for others.

Or one of the many animals in the disconnect zoo.

Keep lying to yourself. Bungie banned half the community in one of the halo games.
-
... Ehh. It's alot harder to prove that they disconnected due to their own volition versus a legitimate network error.
-
Who says bungie cares what's harder to prove. Will you be able to have enough proof to file a lawsuit against them if you get banned? I doubt it.
-
Lol, a lawsuit. Even if I had 100% proof they can do what they want. Bungie isn't bungie anymore. They are controlled by profits, Activision. They don't call the shots anymore. We will see no bans from the crota glitch.
-
Activision also controls COD and people get banned all the time on there. People also get banned on WoW which Activision also controls.
-
Yeah, for legitimate cheats. Probably the same thing we saw those other destiny bans. Console manipulation, and the heavy ammo synth trick.
-
Glitching crota is network manipulation so I'm sure bans will result.
-
Well, with that logic, any time someone turns their Xbox off while exiting destiny, or going to the dashboard to quit destiny, is doing network manipulation. They are performing a normal act. Exiting a game, using the provided method to exit. If that's cheating then I guess none of us are allowed to leave the game ever.

Dude bungie has pretty advanced servers. I'm pretty sure they will be able to tell if you've been glitching crota. When VoG came out bungie said they had the ability to monitor players in the raid and could see what they were doing. They've probably already got a script that alerts them when someone disconnects from a crota fight and immediately queues footage of that part of the raid. Remember Activision controls COD and you can get banned for joining a hacked lobby and not leaving.
-
Time will tell then I guess.
