Ever since HoW dropped I have found myself either solo or with one other Guardian companion quite often slugging it out for something that is much easier with a matched and engaged trio. What appears to be happening is like the movie Jumper--where Guardian's are bouncing from match to match in hopes of landing close to the end of a strike and picking up imbalanced rewards for their participation.
It's highly frustrating for three reasons--
1) it goes agains the "everyone fights" philosophy of matchmaking when people bounce out at the beginning
2) it takes forever to be re-matched if you are solo, and often never rematches if you have a pair. Telkis comes to mind.
3) the solo Guardian left gets shafted when others join at the last minute and disproportionately loot out. 1 kill to my 134 and 45 minutes of play time and they get Legendary Gear and 9 strange coin for just dropping in. Who wouldn't want to jump around if that is how the behavior is rewarded?

Bump. I've seen this too...
