Hypothetical - Guardian Trainer (Destiny)

If there were a PC version someday, and someone somewhere made a cheater program that would let you set the level, skills, and weapons that your guardian has, enabling you to play all the content without worrying about engaging with the investment system, would you use it?

From what I've seen, I would rate Destiny's "investment system" as part of "all the content."

While I haven't played Destiny yet, I have enjoyed starting small in other games and growing my character into something much more powerful. It can be a lot of fun to go back to a previously troublesome area or level and gage just how much more powerful I've become. It can be fun to try and beat a harder area that should be too tough by making expert use of powers and specific weapons and armor combinations. Part of the fun of a game can be the journey from unknown to Legend in the eyes of the virtual world I've chosen to play in. Your hypothetical trainer would mean skipping that part of "all the content." Skipping part of the fun.

So no, I would not use it unless Destiny's investment system proves to be broken, like the later Halos' "Play 8,000 more hours to see the helmet you might be able to buy after playing another 16,000 more hours of gameplay. P.S. Single player no longer counts as playing after hour 10."
