I helped a 301 beat HM Oryx today.
The rest of the fireteam were above 310, so I was expecting a relatively painless run. We ran the 8 and 8 strat and I had the guy take plate 2. That way both myself, and the guardian on plate 3 could kill both our own knight [i]and[/i] his.
The first 3 rounds went by smooth as butter. However, one of the 2 Titans on ogre duty got killed by the 3rd shade of Oryx. We managed to salvage the situation, eventually detonating the remaining 8 orbs and successfully dropping Oryx's health. The 301 cheered audibly. We could tell he was pretty excited.
Just as Oryx was moving to the front, I realised that our low level friend hadn't really done anything. He didn't help kill his ogre. Didn't even try to snipe his knight. He barely touched the shade at all. He just sat on his plate, his mouth watering at the thought of that tasty loot..
So right before we stagger Oryx for the last time, sending the father of Croat floating off into oblivion, I reported him for being unhelpful and booted him from the fireteam. I figured he didn't really earn the rewards, and by letting him claim them, he'd just want to be carried again.
There are already too many high level players that still know relatively little about the raid. I'd rather not add to the problem. As an experienced raider, I feel it is the duty of high level guardians to ensure that only deserving players reach our ranks. With great light comes great responsibility.

So why did you take him along in the first place?? Just to be a dick and tell yourself how good you are for being able to get thru with a 301. Then try to spin it into you doing something positive for the community? You're a dick bro. All you gotta do is just not take the 301 in the first place.
