Are you hoping for a debate, or to have your viewpoint reenforced?

Some fraction of players will always exploit the mechanics of a game to get ahead.

Can you provide an explanation in the original post about what "loot pushing" is?

It's leveraging game mechanics to gain a tactical advantage.... them's fancy words for cheat'n =)

I think it's cheating but no where near on par with out right hacking the game.

A lone player or small group loot cycling for an hour or two on a public server is fine in my opinion.

They are very vulnerable whilst they do it. Also, it doesn't give you what you need half the time anyway.

Additionally, it's very boring and so I'm fairly sure most players do it as infrequently as possible.

I don't agree with clans passwording their server, loot cycling in large groups for hours, and then taking the guns onto other servers.

But even that is a drop in the ocean compared to the hacking and duping; that's what really caused weapon inflation.

In my opinion, loot cycling wouldn't be necessary if the other game mechanics were in balance.

Personally I play on a private server, and the only opinion that matters is the server admin's.

He allows it as part of normal gameplay, but might warn a clan if they did it en masse for hours when the server was empty, for instance.
