I disagree :-) (Destiny)

I don't consider this "cheating". A glitch, a bug, sure. But it is not the players who are "breaking the game". This isn't like yanking your ethernet cable out of the wall or lag-switching. This is players using a button combination to achieve results that Bungie didn't intend. It should absolutely be fixed, but I don't blame players for using it.

Technically, yanking your Ethernet cable or lag-switching isn't "breaking the game" either. all three cases are players giving Destiny and its servers input that Destiny tries to interpret and fails to do so. These are just cases where Destiny failing to correctly handle it results in the player getting an advantage.

If the players weren't doing anything out of the range of normal input that Bungie expects players to do to keep the game fair and the glitch/bug happens then that is not cheating. People are exploiting the software and in turn, that gives them an advantage over other people. That in my mind is cheating.
