They also used exploits on their official stream (Destiny)

if they punish ppl, they will be the biggest hypocrites.

There is a low level paramedic-themed backpack that came with the season pass. It grants you +2 med kits (carry total goes from 5 to 7). You can equip this back at a restock station, get your 7 med kits, then switch to your better backpack.

Likewise, there is a low-level Police backpack that gives +75% ammo capacity. You can do the same exploit.

There is a gas mask perk called "rehabilitated." It would heal you @ 2% per second when taking special kinds of damage (shock, burning, flashbang). Problem was, once it was proc'd it never stopped, so you could flashbang yourself and never have to use a med kit again, b/c you were constantly regenerating health.

There is a chest piece with a perk called reckless. it states that you deal 13% more damage, but you will receive 10% more damage. This chest piece is broken, I allows you to deal more damage, and TAKE LESS DAMAGE.

MASSIVE employees have used all of these exploits on their official Twitch stream.

My point exactly. How are players supposed to know which of these unintended rule interactions are 'cheating' and which are just being clever?

Back when field scout was awesome I'd sometimes switch it off for stability on my Thunderlord after I picked up the heavy ammo, thereby gaining both the extra ammo and stability. Seemed like a clever thing to do.
