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!

Most of the time theyre not actually afk. I was doing the psion heroic strike and one of the guys was afk the whole time. Me and the other guy wiped twice at the boss fight and when we were trying for a third time i noticed the guy who was afk moved his character back far from the entrance to the main fight area. I tried moving his character out into the fight but he ran into a corner and sat down. I reported him then left. Im not carrying someone through a strike because theyre too lazy to join the fight and then get rewards for doing nothing. After that I wont do any strikes.
