Cheesing labeled as "cheating"
Just read this Gamasutra community member's post from Friday: "Anything goes: How Destiny just went Free-to-Cheat."
This is my first MMO, so I'm new to the mentality of "cheesing = cheating." Taking advantage of exploits to cheese stuff is nothing new, obviously, but I'd never heard from the contingent of folks who decry it.
As for me, I'm happy to cheese while we can. I've always believed that if you're using the tools the devs gave you—your system and controller—and not hacking into a registry and flipping bits around to make a game go your way, anything goes. So articles like this make me want to dismiss the critics as being butthurt. But I definitely value knowing I can do things legit as well. (Not that we'll have any choice after today's update.)
What are your thoughts on the legitimacy of cheesing raids, strikes, etc.?

I could careless about cheesing/no cheesing. Bungies game is so broken that I log on only Tuesdays to raid and run the weeklies then pretty much don't even touch the game for a week. Although I occasionally let my son log on my character to run around and do whatever he wants since I pretty much have all of what the endgame has to offer. There is nothing to do in this game except for running the same bounties/strikes everyday. That's not what I call fun. Also releveling the same weapons over again is NOT fun. Very tedious and tiresome. My original fireteam that consisted of 9 of us has dwindled down to 2. Everyone has moved on. The game was fun pre dark below when you had to earn your endgame level 30 and helping everyone go thru the raid to hopefully help them earn raid gear to reach that lv 30. But now it's a joke, when little timmy can buy the game and reach elite status in under 2 weeks when everyone else grinded 2-3 months and was still one or two items short of 30. So I say cheese and break the game some more since it's broken as hell anyways.
