AFKing in STRIKES

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!

    I had a guy go AFK on undying mind, hid in the back through the strike when we got to the boss fight he left his sticks completely and I just used him the whole boss fight by pushing him out in the open and using him as a shield and distraction.... he kept pulling agro and dying and I would just keep reviving him and getting OS and putting shots on boss.... it was awesome. He of course started moving when boss was dead to get his reward.... just reported and moved on... strikes are easy enough to solo but it does go a lot quicker with a good team that actually plays as intended. I usually don't go in alone but when I do I expect to carry, and sometimes run into some solid randoms and just stay with them for 3-4 strikes..... To those guardians I salute you, to the AFK's you will be used and you will not have fun... sucks to be you.
