Dear Bungie,
As the gameplay currently stands, no other players who were in the 'instance' of a Patrol game environment currently show-up in the "Game" Tab of the "Invite Friends" screen. This needs to be changed so that a record of other players in your environment is generated.
I recently played a game in the Lvl 4 Cosmodrone Patrol (as a Lvl 4-5 Guardian, solo) in which (3) 23-25 Lvl players were hard-core farming in an area of Lvl 4 mobs. The speed in which they killed all the mobs made it extremely difficult to do any of my missions and bounties. I wanted to send a message or chat with these players to kindly ask them to farm someplace else, or to at least leave me a small slice of the zone because they were seriously impacting my gameplay experience. I was unable to communicate with them, nor was I able to send Bungie a negative feedback on these players (as you requested to be done when players either present positive OR negative gameplay experiences).
If Bungie allows these other players to farm these low-level zones with such impunity, it will seriously impact the gameplay experiences of other players who are trying to level-up their toons in a reasonable fashion.

They were probably just doing the same bounties everyone else was doing. Seems to me like you've just had bad luck. I, and everyone I know who plays, has not had this problem.
