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'm impressed on how people figure these chesses out and how quickly they implement the strats. I mean all the crotas cheese were wide known by the first week and I could never figure them out. Even the vog cheesing the templar was impressive to me. I have respect for people who figure it out but it is pretty shitty to be bungie and watch these raids you worked hard on being conquered so easily by cheesing.
