My first Vault of Glass run we cheesed the Templar with the Warlock grenade trick.
My first Crota's end run we cheesed the 2nd bridge and pulled the ethernet cable on Crota.
It wasn't really by choice but just happened that way for me.
I think it would be fun going into the new Raid knowing anything about it and just see what happens.
What's your story?

[b]Edit 3: [/b]Thank you everyone for sharing your stories. I'm amazed that most people didn't cheese it for the first time. Now let's break out the crackers and spread the cheese while we reminisce about year 1 and anticipate year 2.

Nope The clan I ran most of my early raids with were real tight with running stuff with zero shortcuts. Gave me an appreciation for being able to do it all the proper way. Still do like to run VoG as strictly adherent to the mechanics as possible, but I only run it on the off chance if I get the occasional invite, so I typically just go with the flow - not my FT, not my place to bark the rules at everyone. As for Crota, 95% of my activity there is and has been solo for a long time, so it gets done as quick as I can do it. Deathsinger & Crota are done 100% legit, but Abyss and Bridge aren't places I need to hang around like fart gas in for longer than absolutely necessary.
