Dear Battlepacks, I really DO appreciate what you are saying, honestly! But may I respectfully suggest that not everyone is as good as you obviously are. For myself, even after doing many hours in the game (496). I still basically "suck"! Perhaps it is because of my "old age" or because this game is "not for me". I like to do strikes, and I never seem to be able to make as many "kills" as my fellow Guardians! BUT I DO TRY!! There is a "Fine Line" between booting a player for not trying, and a player who just isn't as good! Please don't become one of those "Elite" Pricks that the game can well do without! Best Wishes to you.

Another simple trick....have 2 friends. That's all. Just 2. All you need for striking. 2 God Damn Friends. Benefits of having just 2 friends for strikes: You can exit the strike if Bungie's "playlist" gives you Phogoth 10 times in a row. You can go AFK because the real world is more important without some little cocksucker bitching about it. You can kill all the enemies, drive through the skip-parts or anything you damn well wish. You can go into your inventory to use an ammo-pack without having previously mentioned cocksucker killing you in some fashion for "Not helping". All of this can be yours....if you have just 2 friends.
