A 10 minute cool down on all matchmaking activities would make a difference. Bungie seems to bend over backwards avoiding the punishment of people who ruin everyone's else enjoyment of the game.

Intentionally abusing a glitch is cheating/exploiting. Technical terminology doesn't make a distinction between the two things.

Random drops in the Court, Eris Morn rank up rewards, King's Fall chests.
In competitive environment like PvP [normal, IB or ToO] glitch like this can and often is viewed as cheating.

didn't see you moaning about the Hammer of Sol 'exploit'Exploit you mean.
Top edit:
It is cheating in the colloquial sense, a glitch or bug in the technical design sense, and an exploit in the behavioral sense. Tune in next time for more Guardian Semantics!
Well that's all good news!
Anyone interested in trying for the final sword step (need all 3) or going for a Black Spindle? I've never done either, so don't expect me to lead any of them without some hiccups!

lol. Call it what you want. His team clearly had the advantage when abusing said exploit.
Yes, it's automatically applied now

Why bother? Just do the encounter as intended. Atheon goes down fast nowadays.
Three man means you'll need to be Sunsinger to avoid the teleport.

Im looking forward for the next episode.
No. ToO more likely is if Bungie doesn't patch it out tomorrow.

So they are taking advantage of unintended design flaw to gain unfair advantage over other players? One could call it cheating.

Quit bans can be implemented in destiny, sure. They would preferably be used to deter habitual quitters. Quit too many games in some time frame, get a time out for some period. Continue quitting while on probation, get a more severe quit penalty. Play nice for long enough, you are brought back to normal status.
However, under no circumstances should a quit ban of any duration be placed on a player after leaving a single match. If I'm queuing up for a crucible match and get put in a game down 5k or something, fuck that. I'm gone. Fix your mercy rule system first before punishing players from leaving a terrible experience. Leaving crucible is much more acceptable than leaving a strike since losing is actually a possibility. For strikes, prioritize games in need of 1-2 more players for matches over that of new games. Filling strikes immediately is more important than filling crucible matches that should have just been ended.
Subscribed.
I'm with hawkian on this one.

I seen a team abusing it once today out of 12 matches. ToO will probably be a different story.
There is some precedent for how Bungie reacts to things like this. Remember the Warlock sunsinger exploit, where a Warlock could essentially revive without using their super by switching bubbles in their subclass before reviving (or something like that)? As I recall Bungie took weeks or perhaps even months to fix that one.
There's one surefire way to get Bungie to fix it: Stop playing IB and don't play ToO until they fix it. Bungie seems to religiously follow what its player base is playing and how much they are playing it.

I hope this isn't intended as any kind of contradiction of what I said. I can summarize my semantic breakdown in the sentence "He is exploiting a glitch to cheat."
I seem to favor substantially harsher penalties for those doing so than many I've seen commenting on the issue in the last dozen pages and I don't care at all what it's called.
I only commented in the first place because of how fruitless it is to say something like "it's not a cheat, it's a glitch" as though these things have universally-applicable meanings in every context.
Wait, breaking up a fireteam in IB? Definitely not by design.

Black Spindle or normal run?

I agree. I actually would prefer if people didn't get replaced in the Crucible after the first minute. If it's a blowout and people start leaving, just end the match as quickly as possible. I'll stay, work on my bounties and get the loot drops. Bringing people in, as though maybe the next guy can turn this 10000 to 1200 game around, is just comical. It just encourages the culture of quitting.

I'm available to do some Black Spindle runs on Xbox.
Message me on XBL.
I got it on the Moon strike from the directer while on my Titan. I think the Heroic while harder have higher chances of dropping.

Same here. I would assume it will be 10 pdt again. Then everything will be red death for the next few days
According to a post on Bungie's website, Trials is launching at the daily reset time tomorrow, 2 AM pacific.
Let me see if I can dig up a link.
Agonarch Ruin is again working,
Anyone want to help me with the final part? (it will also be my 45th Fragment!)

Ah, well that's a nice surprise. I'll take your word for it. I'll probably be sleeping till 10 pdt so it won't be any different for me
If you haven't found anyone in 45 minutes I will. I'm one Taken short of charging mine as well and would love to do it, but am still at work. PSN: rarbusto, message me in a bit if you still haven't done it.
Now why would I tune in next time, when it feels like youre just talking down to me.
Exploiting a glitch, an op weapon, an op super. No difference to me, it all happens because of fuck ups from Bungie.
Lag switching or somehow being able to manipulate the actual game code. Thats cheating to me. Thats the meaning of the worf I grewup with, since the first time I played an online game. If you see it meaning something else, thats fine, but no need to talk down to me.
Is is hard to solo?
I will probably be off by that point, but if you're still looking for help later on in the evening and I'm on just send me a msg!
FR sent!

Agonarch rune? Not remotely hard to solo, it'll just take a little longer.
Edit: wow, seriously? Page top for this? Yikes.
Edit2: here's something more:
Woah, that's crazy you actually got your kjhovey rematch! Sucks it didn't go as planned but you really can't compare without full fire teams. Obviously Banner isn't anywhere close to Trial's competition level so it wouldn't mean as much. Hopefully you'll get your rematch someday and take him down.
Doesn't matter. Already had three spindles.

Hey, I've been wondering, is it known if the strike playlists have a reduced pool? I'm tired of Valus Taarc, Undying Mind and the giant gorgon one. Once in a while I get Saber and brothers.
Can't believe that I'm saying that I miss Omnigul, Sepiks Prime and the others
yeah theres no sepksis, omnigal, archon priest, summoning pits in the playlist
guessing cause they didn't update them and they don't have any strike specific gear
would be nice to have the full array of strikes to make it slightly less repetitive
