Unlocked my quest for the New Monarchy Exotic class item on my Warlock yesterday. Ran my 10 strikes in Heroic and I noticed something. Almost every strike had someone AFK and grab rewards at the end. Some guys were trying to be clever and would scoot forward, shoot, then hide once we engaged the enemy. Heroic strikes aren't ball-busting, but running them with only 2 as opposed to a full team can be painful.
The worst strike I had by far had a guardian named (had to remove name but will post vid tomorrow). If you see him in strikes, just leave. If you see him in crucible, own him. This piece of siht did nothing but tuck himself into corners and shoot only when we were looking. He was completely absent and hiding in a nook in the wall at the boss. Then when the boss died, guess what dropped?
The Imago Loop. For THAT GUY.
I had as many assists as he had kills.(29, I had 139 kills at the end) And he gets the one gun I still haven't managed to get. Bungie, you need to do something to stop people from cruising through strike playlists and reaping the rewards because this is stupid. And it's like this a for almost every strike I join.
So sound off fellow guardians! Share your strike playlist horror stories below!

A guy tried to go afk on me on the dust palace strike in that big two tiered room where you wait for dinkleb-I mean nolanbot to open the second door. He did the "sit" emote up by the door near the top and didn't move. I killed every add except one centurion and used my sword to push him in front of its fire line since it was staying on the bottom for some reason. I had fun watching him die, reviving him, then watching him die again, and so forth for a while. I took a short video of myself dancing after each death but didn't know how to send it to him. I left after that. Nobody gets anything. Little -blam!-er
