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 always report them and leave. I've seen 3 AFKers get exotics after strikes, I'm not carrying anyone anymore. What really gets me is that they are actually there. They know Bungie changed things a bit to try and deter it. You used to get people just fire up the strike playlist then go away and come back before the inactivity boot, flick the stick then sod off again. Or rubber band it. But those who actually stay and don't help? Why the hell not! Play the game you cretins! Then you get those who start a strike and go farming instead. Don't encourage them, just report and leave.
