Everybody has come across one of these players during a strike, you enter a strike and you start running towards the first objective but you notice that at least one person from your fireteam isn't doing anything. Yeah we're dealing with someone who is AFK and just want to be a leech.
Basically people are like to enter a strike, watch tv and enjoy the reqards afterwards when about 15 minutes have passed. Some even take measures to not be disconnected for standing still for to long by holding their thumbstick in an angle so they start walking.
I don't mind having one person leave as a new person can join halfway the strike, the thing I'm personally anoyed by are these leeches.
Bungie needs to think of something that will deal with these people such as adding a rule that will make that person actively take part in the strike. Rules such as:
1st rule: You need to be inside the boss room at the end within a certain amount of time when 1 or both other fireteam members enter this room or you will be kicked.
Basically like adding a 6 minute timer when the first person enters and change it to 3 minutes when the second person enters the room.
2nd rule: You need to do at least x amount of damage in the strike or you won't receive any rewards. (People who enter midgame have to do less amount of damage).
Everyone should be able to achieve this certain amount of damage even if they've never gotten a kill in that strike.
As a part of the fireteam you need to be doing your part by adsisiting the other two guardians. Some people may say that deaths will decrease the possibility to achieve that score since you're out of the game, but then that means you're not actively taking part in your fire team and merely acting as a lone wolf. It's the risk you take.
I hope I get positive reactions and that people agree that Bungie needs to deal with this.

Saw this twice, both in PoE...each time, the dudes did a little and then just went afk...wtf!?! Remaining teammembers carried on obviously thinking it must be a bathroom emergency or some urgent household issue...but then, the afk-er came alive in the lobby, and did a rinse-and-repeat for the next round...WTF!?! This repeated till the end...we gave Up reviving and cuffing the sorry creature, and just completed the final round - by the skin of our teeth! The afk-er came alive in the lobby awaiting the aperture to open...and started to dance...[b]WTF?!?[/b]where we unleashed every rocket / super upon the undeserving creature; it was quite a light show (both times)! And reports were duly filed because on each occasion, it was a blatantly obvious act! That said, [i]speed runs[/i] should be an option to choose, too, as not everyone wants to get to the end asap! There be guns/armour to level up...and enemies to shoot! And we're not all so fast on our feet; some of us older ones like to take things a mite easier! LOL so, please bear that in mind if our paths happen to cross! Finally, deliberate and blatant afk-ers need sorting, as they are nothing but cheaters...the problem is, how does one distinguish between a skrub afk-er and someone who has just gotta go? [b]I think common sense and a bit of patience is the solution...[/b]
