Is this a thing? (Destiny)

I just got killed by someone that was somehow standing on the side pillar right in front of the A special ammo on Pantheon. This made it so they had an elevated position but were almost completely shielded by the pillar. I didn't think that was possible or at least no suppose to be possible. Is this a thing or did this person manage to wedge himself just right to get an unfair advantage? I marked it as cheating either way because I've never ever seen that before.

Yup. Saw that a lot back in Year 1 Trials. No fancy tricks, just jump and crouch on the pillar. Not sure why folks stopped using it (maybe it got too predictable), but it's definitely a classic sniper pillar (not cheating).
