I agree that it's lame. However... (Destiny)

... Bungie has stated multiple times that they do not consider this cheating, they consider it an exploit that needs fixed. Time and again they have spun it as "hey, good for you guys for being creative with the mechanics. Our bad. We'll fix that!"

It's the gaming equivalent of a legal loophole. Yep, it surely does ruin fun and isn't how the game is intended to be played. But as the current rules stand, it's not "cheating" in the sense that you're breaking any rules. It's exploiting the current rules to your own advantage. Cody is being pedantic, but words do matter. it's not strictly cheating, but it is in very poor form and deliberately working the system to your own advantage at the expense of others.

It does make the game un-fun, especially in PvP, and for that reason I expect it to be patched quickly.

Gotta love semantic arguments... :D
