I seriously don't get some of this (Destiny)

That poses an interesting question: Is there no point that the intended design of an encounter should be enforced? Surely, you believe there's some line where players stop being clever and start being cheaters?

That line is crossed when:

1. Players manipulate the game data / memory / network
2. Players enter a cheat code

Other than that it's not cheating.

That reminds me of when people would use some map exploits in Crysis 2, getting out of the map where they could kill people, but nobody could hurt them. Their excuse was "if the developers didn't want me to go out there, they wouldn't have put it into the game."

Technically it's in the code, and technically "anyone can learn to do it", but it's still cheating.
It's the same crap that happened with BXR and crab walking and all other historical exploits where people played the game in an unbalanced and unintended way. It's cheating, and if the devs can fix it, they'll fix it. Were the MCC not simply a test for the future of the multiplayer of Halo, it too would have removed exploits and cheats like Superbouncing and such...

If Bungie wants to remove exploits and cheats, a loud minority crying about "legitimate strategy" isn't going to stop them... It's pretty apparent even now, with a very small minority complaining that fusion rifles are overpowered, but Bungie is addressing Auto Rifles and Shotguns, which actually ARE overpowered, as evident by stats and tons of data.
