So, loaded up the strike list... felt like solo grinding a rank in Vanguard. After an hour I come across the restorative mind for the fourth time.
And I'm in it alone, so I get half way through the strike and these two guys join up. Lets call them Arrow and Starlord for this... not there real Player ID but it works for now, who suddenly seem very upset that I had the relic.. and refuse to rez me at all.
We get to the boss room and suddenly we aren't doing anything.
And then a spam of party invites and Game invites start flooding in my inbox from these guys. And suddenly I get a nice little conversation going from Starlord.
Starlord: Can u plz leave?
Me: Pardon?
Starlord: Or join the party lol
Me: Why? I'm solo running right now.
Starlord: we want to farm keys
Me: I'm not leaving. And I'm not joining the party. I'm solo running strikes till I rank up.
Starlord: Sorry well your not starting well pull all nighter
Me: Grab a snack then kid.
Starlord: Already have. Just sit down, we have a glitch to kill him easily.
Me: Why glitch something so easy?
Starlord: Cause keys you tard.
1 hour later
Me: I've got all night boys.
Starlord: Im to leval so i can go flaw less
Starlord: I already have a team
Me: Then why aren't you three manning the strikes
Starlord: Cuz they are doing trials
Me: Sucks. I'm still not leaving.
Starlord: Sriosly -blam!-er, get out so we can farm keys
Me: Nope.
Me: Tell you what, I'll leave, if we finish the strike.
And then we proceed to start the strike after that- and they both kill themselves to rockets. So I end up soloing the whole fight as they refuse to get back up. And when I get back to orbit I get new teammates.
Seriously... don't be these two idiots.

Meh, you should have joined their farm. You could have learned something new. I've done 10-11 thousand strikes (Grimore says). I swear, outta my career, I've only been asked to join their farm or cheese a dozen or so times. You can always go back to strikes when you're done, they're not going anywhere.

Edited by Cosmic Zaa: 11/21/2016 7:42:21 PMYou sounded rude honestly. They asked and said please and you rudely replied rather than saying something like "Sorry man, im on a streak, rather not." or something. I mean granted they could've just said ok and left but you were rude. So i dont see what higher ground you have over then

glad my privacy is set to friends only
-
Guy plays strikes for keys Guy gets invited to farm strike for keys Guy refuses and sits there for an hour Guy finishes strike then goes to orbit to do more strikes. 😖
-
I'm with you on that man good job on the solo part to finish the strike. I'm not one that likes to cheese things in the game. I just run strikes to level up my vanguard and I I get a key awesome if not oh well I'm still getting drops ands rep points.

[i]edit this and rename one 'deej', that'd be great...[/i]

That's more than just rude. lol

Glad there aren't any farmable strikes on Xbox anymore. Really reduces the dickbag ratio of these kinds of people during strikes. Of course there's still plenty of dickbaggery. Like your AFKs, and the people like me who just murder the AFKs repeatedly until they get idle-kicked, leave on their own, or play the video game.

People wasting other's time.....asswipes
-
Please never ever bring this topic up on a date or job interview. Seriously who has time for nerd shit like this?
-
Yeah, that sucks. I haven't been any in any really bad situations but have definitely had some AFKs. However, to apologize I know that I have been an AFK a couple times for a few minutes mid strike. There have been occasions where my infant daughter has woke up and I've had to run and put her back to sleep when the wife was unavailable to do so. Generally if it is more then a couple minutes I'll try to go to orbit to let others join but I feel bad for that couple minutes while I'm gone. So I apologize for those who AFK occasionally for legitimate reasons, we don't want to be sometimes life happens.

Edited by evomichel: 11/21/2016 5:25:12 PMA few weeks back, i joined an lfg group, to do vosik challenge (and the whole raid). We did it in lass then 1 and half hous. All of our 4-5 wipes, was because of the same person (not me). After we did it, i thanked them and went to orbit. After a while, i received a massege: "Broh, youre shit. You don't open your mouth"! (after calling every single time. Like I'm empowered, void righ, etc). Guess whos that? The same guy that make us wipe. It was my last week playng destiny. And i never looked back. Sad, with 200+ raid completitions, i did the vosyk challenge and didnt even try the Aksis challenge, and probably never will. I'm turning "peoplephobic".

Edited by TexasJedi_705: 11/21/2016 3:07:18 PMHere we have two prime examples of the species "Entitled Squeaker," in their natural habitat. Many would say it's a shame to have such a healthy population of them, [spoiler]myself included[/spoiler] but we need them to maintain a heathy destiny ecosystem. But don't worry, due to the projected massive increase next month, the head of the Department of Fish and Wildlife will start open season this friday.

Honestly strikes are basically unplayable because of assholes likes this. I don't even know why they have the streak if it's almost guaranteed that every other strike someone will leave or go afk.
-
Lol you could have just left and gotten more strikes done.
-
Yup been in that situation before. Kids.....
-
Why are you trying to make a point to two randoms.. Just leave and move on.. They prolly moved on after this and never thought of it again, and you made a forum post about it
-
I love how Arrow didn't talk lol I imagine him standing in the shadows... watching... waiting.
-
A good percentage of my strikes have AFK players. Often there is one such player in every other strike. Either the player is AFK at the beginning of the strike, or later on. It really gets annoying.
-
I like the "not their real player ID" part........
-
Your responses were about as rude as his were, I see no problem.
-
It's more efficient to level up vanguard and faction rep with patrols, and leave strikes alone unless for keys. https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/587f8m/ive_done_1300_patrols_since_rois_launch_heres_why/

Last night I 2-manned the sepiks perfected strike with a rando. We got to the laser grid part and I went down by the laser grid bc I was running around balls to the wall with my shotty. The other guy ran past me a couple times and didn't bother picking me up. I sent him a msg basically saying "thanks, dick" and after explaining why he was a dick, he asked to be my friend.[spoiler]tl;dr called a guy a dick and he wanted to be my friend lol[/spoiler]
-
Just report their messages. If you say one bad word on Xbox and it gets reported, you get com banned for a week or two lol
-
Usually if I was gonna farm and I don't have a full fire team I just ask the random if he wants to farm or not, if he says yes then great, if he says no me and my friend just wait for the next strike.
