[b]First and foremost, i am not advocating cheesing or cheating. Just thinking out loud. Also, this is not directed at any exploit in particular. It applies to just about everything in the game - from simply finding a loot cave to actually beating a raid boss.[/b]
Any time a fix comes out, another exploit pops up. Players are actively trying - and succeeding - to find new ways to break the game. Investing time in it. Trying to break the game's code or simply trying to figure out loopholes. I believe that for some, finding these exploits became a challenge on its own. Some may actually feel its more rewarding to complete an objective by other means than the one the game programmers intended - sort of like "outsmarting" the designers.
For these players, every fix is actually welcome as it brings a new challenge. Kind of bringing a "hard mode" to any one exploit.
Its not that Bungie is making that good of a job in patching these exploits either. A loot cave is patched? There's another one! Lamp impact disappears? Well that gap can be crossed with a jump anyway! Players can jump on top of a rock and avoid all the thralls on the first bridge? Hell we won't even touch that! Thralls despawn on the second bridge? We won't patch that either!
How many of these exploits could be easily fixed just by relatively easy solutions such as extending the respawn timers everywhere or raising some invisible walls? Its almost like Bungie doesn't want to fully patch all similar exploits and, by patching one at a time, is baiting players to find new ones.
What do you think?

Edited by LaharlPT: 1/14/2015 12:49:58 PMI believe that Bungie doesn't need to fix one exploit at a time to bait people to find bugs, people will do it anyway since the drop rates are so low and there's so little to do in the game that almost everyone just prefers to cheese their way to make it faster. After all, that Icebreaker or Gjallahorn won't drop anyway. What I see here is that Bungie either doesn't have a good testing team or simply doesn't test their games at all. One of the things that I have to do when a project is complete at my work is test it. Even if it's just a 5 minutes game, I spend hours trying to find bugs, ways to cheat. And after we fix all the bugs, we do it again, to make sure that after fixing 5 bugs, 10 new bugs didn't came up. So Bungie, get a new testing team, or just hire those Youtubers you see on the board always finding new glitches that your team failed to.
