I've noted an interesting trend lately. AFKs and quitters. Sadly this is only going to get worse for random players. I can see it when I jump in. The others don't move, or they look around nervously. Two go running off and the third... Well the third either vanishes or stays off in the distance. Then vanishes, or shows up near the end of the boss fight. Inherently when Bungie put a stop to the farming of the Treasure Cave and made the Strike the most viable source for Rare and Legendary engrams they saturated the event with farmers. You know them. They speed run the Strike. Anything to be done and to collect the reward at the end. Do I blame any of these players, not at all. But... It is going to get worse on Quitters. Boredom, tired of the same twenty minute strike over, and over again. Apathy is setting in. I can barely play it anymore myself. I'm more prone to just farm on patrols for material and mission XP for factions over one more repetitive strike. I believe they should shorten the Strike. Stick the players near the mid range point to the boss. You might get players to engage again, rather than one or two just saying "-blam!- this I'm outta here!" Many can solo these events, but really that's just boring tedious nonsense. If you're going to solo it then it should be the heroic and nightfall. Better pays out at the end. A normal strike though is meant to be a social moment. Unfornately that is coming to an end due to the player base becoming disengaged. It should get better when the DLC drops. But even then the older strikes will suffer even more deserters. Think about shortening it. Maybe ramp up the main boss to offset the farming and time lost by doing away with the starting half. Seriously I'd just like to start against the three cabal lieutenants and the tank battle, rather than all the way to start of that Strike. Perhaps more players would be willing to fight to the main event rather than taking off if the main event wasn't fifteen to twenty minutes away.
