"Cheese": Taking the fun out of gaming

I can't tell you the countless times I've been told while running someone from the community through the raid that they have [i]never[/i] done it legit. That if they die during the lamps. Their party has told them. "Just stay dead it's fine ". That they were excited to play with us to see how the raid was supposed to be played. To learn the encounters. The mechanics. Why learn the mechanics and do it legit? [b]VIDEO GAMES ARE FUN[/b] People forget. They are here for fun. Not so much the loot. But for [i]fun[/i]. By cheesing every encounter. You ruin it for yourself. And the people you are with. Cheese tactics are ruining a game that already needs a lot of love. Look. I understand if you want to cheese a bullet sponge [i](valus ta'aurc[/i]) fight by finding a spot to sit and fill the boss with bullets. Because those fights aren't even fun. But the raids ? [i]the raids are the best pve content in the game[/i]!!! So [u]why[/u] would you want to skip it? People are so greedy about the loot or they say they "don't have time you don't understand" or any number of bullshit. My only answer to that? [b]too bad[/b]. If you [i]cant[/i] do it. That's not an excuse to cheat. You will never justify pulling your cable to make Crota kneel. The other stuff? Clever yes. But again. Why even bother playing the game ? Why do people do this to themselves? What happened to that moment of victory. And satisfaction from defeating a challenge? Stop demanding a handout. I'm not telling you how to play. Simply suggesting you play the -blam!-ing game you paid for. [i]Have Fun[/i]. What a novel idea. TLDR: I simply want to know WHY people don't play the raid for fun. Is loot all you care about? is it all that matters? would you rather just log in go to the tower and have all the raid gear waiting in the post master? Why don't people play the raids for the content? what do you do WITH the raid loot? It just doesn't make sense to me. How is just getting the drops fun? In Bungie We Trus7

    Really the hard part is defining "legit" vs "cheese" Cheating is another thing entirely and not something I condone. Glitching a boss to not fight back is cheating, jumping up on top of something so some mobs can't reach you is simply sound strategy. Walking somewhere the mob's leash won't let them follow would fall under cheese. You aren't glitching anything, merely standing beyond where they will go. Cheap? I guess, but that brings up the question, why would you willingly stand where they can reach you for the sake of "being legit"? Have you seen the early CE solo vid? The guy spends nearly all the time up on top of stuff, because it freaking makes sense, why would you willingly stand where the mobs can kill you in the name of a "legit" fair fight? This isn't some gentleman's dual, it's war, why shouldn't we use tactical advantages? This is complicated by the mess caused by lumping *everything* together under cheese/glitch/cheat. Cheating is cheating. Cheesing is cheesing. Cheesing is NOT cheating. Glitching is cheating Glitching is NOT cheesing. That said I recognize it can be frustrating when people insist on doing things a specific way, especially if that way is actually more work or frustratingly harder. Whether it's the wah wah we gotta do it "legit" crowd, or the we can haz to haz cheeze or we'll pitch a fit like a 2 year old crowd, both can be equally whiny, equally a pain in the butt to play with. Play the game, be efficient, don't waste effort, and don't insist on tactics or methods that are 2-3 times harder or take 2-3 times longer [b]for any reason.[/b] Dang forgot your main point. I have plenty of fun cheesing, not cheesing, whatever as long as it's not cheating. I'd wager that since I'm not stuck on "doing things legit" I actually enjoy the game a lot more than you might think. I do wish more people would be accommodating though, majority want to use X strategy? Alright lets do it. Majority wants to do it Y? Fine I see where you're coming from.
