no, I'm pretty sure you're wrong ;) (Destiny)

I just want to go on record as saying that it's still cheating regardless of whether or not everyone is doing it. Two wrongs and all that. You're exploiting a bug in the code to cause the game to behave in a way other than was intended and reaping a benefit by doing so. That's cheating.

I would say if you aren't reaping a benefit you aren't cheating, you are just making the game less than what it was intended.

So if everyone in baseball uses steroids, which are explicitly illegal in the bylaws of baseball, none of them are cheating according to you?

Okay, I guess I didn't explicitly state that it would have to be within the rules and regulations of the sport. But ultimately no. A game to me is a contest between two entities where the interface they use to compete is equally weighted. Rules are made to make sure that interface is equal.

But in this case the interface clearly states that the quiver perk gives you a total of 3 shadow shots (the rules), and then players have found a bug to exploit which gives them more than that (the cheat). Both players having access to the means of cheating doesn't make it less of a cheat.
