One thing Bungie does right (Destiny)

When you make a game that revolves around loot, and especially revolves around giving it out slowly, you can't get mad at players for using anything and everything to give them an advantage to gain loot faster.

Why not?

Why does a developer lose the ability to enforce the rules they made in the game they made just because you don't like their rules? Does using "anything and everything" include killing other players with plastic sporks? Not their in game avatars, the actual players. It's a game with a loot system, the universal unlimited get out of jail and consequences card in gaming, so "anything and everything is justifiabl", right?

Personally, I think players should have the responsibility to play with fairness and sportsmanship. And those that don't should be punished. And when what is and isn't fair comes into question, they should err on the side of caution, especially when not doing so negatively and adversely effects the experiences of other players.
