I wonder if they aren't working on an alternate strategy to fix the problem, perhaps one like you suppose. Personally I think putting a kill zone on the platforms is fine. To me it says, we gave you the tools to beat this boss, but you decided to circumvent all of that. Just beat the boss as intended guys...come on -_-. I think they gave people too much credit if they didn't consider that people would use the platforms. I remember seeing them the first time I went in and wondering if I could get to them. But upon considering it I surmised that Bungie hadn't planned for that because they don't aid the players mechanically in the fight at all, which made me realize it would be cheating or an exploit. There's no reason to go to the platforms. That's just me though. They want you to beat the fight. Most of the time, games are designed to be beaten. Finding the clues that lead to the tools is a challenge at times. Using the told effectively is a challenge sometimes. But that is the point, to overcome the challenges the developers put in front of you using the tools they've put in front of you. Using the platforms is like breaking through the outside wall of a maze. Why even go into the maze if you're not going to try to conquer the maze itself? P.S.fixes like you suggest may take more time to developed than we think. Not only that but they have to be tested to make sure they work correctly, and now Bungie has to make sure everything they do can't be cheesed. It's almost as if they have to fight against they players as well. And that sucks.
