I know I'm going to be flamed for this since my elitist and hardcore ideology and opinions are widely unpopular among the casual majority on Bungie.net but I will attempt to bring light on yet another cheese strategy found by the ever so cleaver Destiny community. The [i]No Knight Strategy[/i] as many of us know is a cheese strategy in which Ogres are weakened but not killed until after Oryx is staggered in order to skip the task of killing the Light Eater Knights. As you're skipping a raid mechanic, this is not a legitimate strategy, but is merely a cheese, on par with knocking Atheo off the ledge in Vault of Glass or the bridge in Crota's End. I don't believe cheeses should be condoned by the community or the developers. Just like in games like WOW, I feel cheesing and/or exploiting should be punished by a short temporary ban with your raid gear and completion taken away. Bungie should at the very least fix this exploit so raiders will be forced to complete it legitimately and possibly one day, follow in the steps of more hardcore and competitive games where etiquette, competition and difficulty is proudly embraced. Please debate, fellow Guardians and please be respectful to other's opinions.
[b]EDIT[/b]: I'm not going to be able to respond to everyone. The haters are flowing through the gates once again. I asked for it though. lol

Comparing the Oryx fight to Crota is absolutely stupid. In Crota the knights would come back and in HM they are yellowed bar. NOT red like HM Oryx. If you kill a knight in one of the towers next to Crota. Than you got a backup enemy. Not in the Oryx fight. Everything spawns once. Easier. Nothing has a backup like a yellow bar wizard which makes it easier. Nothing keeps coming out til next rotation fighting Oryx like you don't kill a Ogar and a knight and more appear. Its easier. And at least if you can't kill your knight in time. You can run to the middle and stand there invincible and shoot a ToM to what's left of the knight. In my opinion if you like killing everything right away and knowing everyone isn't lazy enough to press a trigger. Ask for 312 or 313+ PvP players. They enjoy mashing buttons and quick scoping things in front of them. Ask for flawless.
