I want to believe this happened.
Where do people like this get off, though? Who buys a game to sit there and AFK on people? What is the -blam!-ing point? Are you entertained just by watching a blue name move around behind a wall on your screen?
Or are they so sad that they enjoy what little amusement can be gleaned from 'forcing' someone to carry you without your aid? Either way it must be a sad life for them. Good on you, OP.
I would do the same if I had the time. Usually I just back out and requeue. Then again I hardly get messages from those players either, and I generally tag along with at least one other buddy if I'm grinding Strikes.

I think it, simply put, they're bored.

A lot of the destiny community is made up of pathetic little trolls who genuinely get off on this. They feel like they have power over you by 'forcing' you to carry them, most probably because they feel out of control and powerless in their own lives. It's also an attention thing. Negative attention is still attention. I mean, really it's quite sad but...whatever :P

Stoners do this....a lot
-
Maybe the"stoners" You know. LOL
-
Wow... Seriously? I know alot of stoners. Not a single one would do this. Everyone I know would just solo that shit because of the challenge and to get it done.
-
Agreed
-
Then you don't know real to life stoners. I live in Colorado... I know me some serious stoners
-
Oh yeah, every stoner is the same Hurr Durr. Then you don't now humanity at all mate. So Colorado is now the standard for the stoner definition or what? I definitely do know alot of real life stoners. Most of them are kind, care for the people around them and respect other peoples opinions.
-
Is it really that hard to play a game while stoned? Seriously? And is this just a guess, or have you actually asked AFKers why?
-
No it's not hard to play a game while being stoned. And actually most stoner I know want to do something, and not just sit there and wait for loot. Maybe they get distracted a bit more often by how something looks, or go and explore some shit, but definitely not just sit in a corner and send messages to other people like "finish this for me". Guess @Hurphy just dislikes stoners in general.
-
I probably would have requeued too. But they sent me a message asking me to leave so they could bring in a friend. So I didn't want to give them that, nor did I want to work through the strike quickly just to feed them rewards. So my only option was stalling. Yes, I'm petty.
-
No, they're petty. They probably wanted to farm Strike Specific Loot.
