[quote]every single tiger strike ive played has had one scrub run ahead and its annoying. im saying it now, in two weeks time the players that run ahead will not be revived by the players actually killing the enemies. [/quote] You seem to forget that in the matchmade strikes players can res in 30 seconds so long as someone else is alive in the fireteam so your "plan" to not res them will backfire unless you're willing to be a dick and die just to inconvenience the ENTIRE team. Meanwhile, they'll simply wait out the timer, res, come back and STILL be ahead of you. [quote]why should i have to skip out on possible engrams because some egohead thinks hes "too good for killing these bad guys" i shouldnt and i wont. [/quote] You can spend as much time killing low level mobs for potential engrams all you want. There's a mode for that, it's called Patrol. Play patrol if you want to engram farm mindlessly. If you join a Strike, I assume you're there to tackle a boss, not kill mobs you can farm for hours on end solo. I will agree with you that being able to join the strikes solo would be a welcome addition, mostly because I'm tired of carrying people in Vanguard Tiger strikes. I don't know if they're killing all the crap trash mobs but in almost every Vanguard Tiger strike I've done in the last 3 days there's always been one person sitting at the start for the majority of the strike and only showing up when we're at the end boss.
