[quote]Do people realize the Crota cheese with the network exploit can get them banned?... Messing with a game connection to benefit the player is against the playstation and Xbox code of...Sony Entertainment Network Terms of service:
"You may not modify or attempt to modify the online client, disc, save file, server or client server communication...You may not cause disruption to the network connection, including for the purpose of gaining an unfair advantage in game."

The odds of being banned are slim on this one, unless I am misunderstanding the network exploit. I believe that the spirit of the TOS for each platform is referring to people using third-party software or hardware to find & exploit a weakness in the game's code. An example of such an exploit would be using software to create latency during a PvP match so that the game believes that your character is one step ahead (or behind) Melee/Ranged attacks...for that, the BanHammer may not strike right away, but it will find you. :-)
With Crota (to my knowledge), it's not playing as intended, and is probably causing more than one Bungie Developer to curse, swear & kick a copier, however, isn't a BanHammer worthy offense...if it was, I think Bungie/Activision would have stated something by now, or we would have at least seen a heck of a lot more "WTF?! Why was I banned?!?" threads.
For now, the rebels get to be rebels, the sanctimonious can cry foul while those that dial Emergency when they see someone speeding can post "They're going to get you!" posts. ;-)
It is the holidays, happy thoughts; is it irritating? Yes. Will it be fixed before the Crota Hard Raid comes out? Probably. Will this particular exploit destroy Destiny's game-balance as we know it? Not likely...Devs intentionally held back the "ultra-leet" primary weapons, giving the community the chance to find, and then brag about, said exploit(s) so that it can be addressed. ;-)
