I also have this habit when I occasionally delve into skirmish with a team.
Normally, we'll try. But as soon as we see two people leave, whoever I'm playing with waves, and then sits in a central location. We don't fight them. We all build up our supers, normally they hang out for a bit, after the realized that we've called a cease fire.
I'm sorry, but if you continue to kill one person on a team, that's not skill. It's an unfair fight, and for the little bastards crying nerf all the damn time, that should be something you don't do.
You give it time. You let other players join in, then scatter While leaving the person that stayed behind alone.
It's called decency.
Plus, it has potential to net you a determined friend.

I had that happen, only thing is I won the 1v3 (barely and they clearly weren't together)
-
I've been in a few matches where that has happened. I usually message whoever's left and ask if they just wanna get it over with. It sucks, but it happens. Anyone that stays on my book is a badass, even when they know an unmerciful beatdown is coming. Those are the Guardians that rock. The true tenacious ones.

But the crucible is no place for mercy! Jk, I do the same, every time the enemy is left with one player, I wave him/her and just sit there until the match finishes or people join.
-
I like you. Props for being a nice person :)

I had a vaguely similar experience during IB. We were getting slaughtered and I was almost beyond my regular frustration level. I knew we were about to be mercy ruled and I was on the wrong side of the map when the spark was picked up. "screw it, I'm sittin' this out!" I walked around the corner and an opponent put two rounds in my chest as I was sitting down. Didn't kill me, but it did a load of damage. I actually spoke out loud and said "Just fukin' do it". I was mentally defeated. He just stopped, stood still for a couple seconds and then sat in front of me. We exchanged a couple friendly messages and accepted friend requests. The decency he showed me, by not pulling the trigger, changed my attitude that evening and it was an enjoyable night of play afterwards. Just a simple little thing like that can be all it takes.

manslave you have changed me. I have been playing pvp ruthlessly for the last month or 2 because I can't seem to get away from mida, last word, or try hards every where I go no matter what game type, so what do I do? assume that everybody is a try hard, therefore I must be a try hard as well. but you have changed me. next time I see a guardian sitting during a match of crucible, I will assume that he is as frustrated as I have been before, I will go back to playing for fun, and viewing guardians as people, not just 12 year old kids. thanks for sharing.

Right on, dude. We are all here (hopefully) just to have fun. And I hope everyone tries hard, but good sportsmanship goes a long way...

Nice dude

I will only attack a disadvantaged opponent if they attack me, until they get teammates in the game. Also if my team is winning, my heavy weapon stays on my back.
-
Yeah, I feel ya on the heavy weapons... It's just that I love my sword so much!! Lol XD
-
I started off a match in iron banner against one kid, was that wrong to grab the spark multiple times before anyone else joined? [spoiler]normally I wouldn't do that but I was grinding for rank 5[/spoiler]
-
That's awesome, wish more people would do that

Be that change, man. Do it with your team. Solo players need that break, and being able to play around in the crucible, or even just being shown that there's willingness to stay behind while a teammate fights them one on one should be commonplace. I get it, it's a team based game mode, but at the same time, this player base is drying up faster than a puddle in the Sahara desert. Solo players are in large numbers, and that's okay, but they also deserve to be shown respect.
