I have been seeing AFK’ers in both Strikes and Gambit. Fortunately for strikes they are a mild annoyance but I definitely report anyone with zero kills and who I only saw in the boss fight room (as a blue orb). For Gambit I have given up on winning games for the next several weeks until most players get their gun. Forcing so many AR multi-kills is one of the issues, especially when running into so many Skorn or Cabal where lower level opponents have shields that prevent quick multi-kills. The other problem is that the 1000 AR kills over 40 games means that players need to average 25 AR kills/game. This is somewhat okay in the beginning as many players are relatively equal footing for getting AR kills but as time has gone on and some have gotten the Breakneck they are now getting far more kills quickly which reduces the stock of enemies for others who have normal AR’s to get their kills. This means that it will take more than 40 games for those that did not grind Gambit for the first week to get their “Breakneck” unless they throw the game to get extra kills during a third round. While I am not happy about this I certainly understand why it is happening as well that it is going to get worse before it gets better. For AFK’ers in Strikes I think Bungie can do something about not counting strikes with fewer than X number of kills if a person spawned into a strike before the first half is completed. The same could be said for true AFK’ers in Gambit. However for those throwing Gambit games for kills I do not think there is much that can be done since it was Bungie that added a second “goal” that is at cross purposes to the goal of winning the game. The best that we can do for now is to either not play gambit until this settles down and everyone gets their gun or play in a manner that lets others get their AR kills for the gun and that those don’t need it help them out by doing other Gambit roles: pick up motes, invade, clear the bank area, hunt invaders. The sooner we get through this the sooner we can get back to regular Gambit.

I didn't run into a single AFKer while grinding for Loaded Question. Gambit is another story, though. I've actually used the "find fireteam" option to make dedicated 4 stacks to [i]throw matches[/i] just to speed things up. I don't like screwing over other solo players, so fireteams are a must if you're gonna throw.

Ran into more afk players in strikes but there was one guy in gambit who was just running around spawn like a asshole the ENTIRE GAME I really enjoy gambit tbh but going in with randoms can make a guy cringe, why can't people be good noodles like in freaking forge and ep, like seriously there should be a penalty that if you intentionally throw a gambit match (no motes, or kills of any kind ) you should lose all of your progress or at least a good chunk Your not being "FORCED" to play the game mode you should be PLAYING the game mode FOR THE DAMN GUN

Ok, dude, thanks for addressing this. I see people searching for fireteams and it says "Throwing Gambit matches, no motes, no invades, loose fast". This is the most trash search I encountered. It's basically searching for KWNTD. I mean why you want this weapon anyways, if you don't want play Gambit and its a Gambit treasure. These people who need their instant pleasure now are the trash of trash. I want Breackneck too but I am getting there. 40 matches is a long way to go. I mean we talk about 13 hours of Gambit, if every gambit mach last only two rounds. So we can say its 15 hours of Gambit approximately. But still, every player gets there eventually. I just feel its a bad trait in a human being. Same goes with buying Lunas. If I cant get there myself, I won't use it. I grind it out with a friend. People who buy the Luna's are often surprised that it doesn't make them a PvP King. No kidding, the gun is all about skill. Thats why the quest is as unforgiving as its genius. You have to do hand canon kills to get there, you get so good at hand canon kills, that going back to quickplay gives you an instant feeling of controlling the battle. Comp makes a player good. T This derailed a bit, but yes, I had games with afk players, but I am not leaving the game, I still finish the game, because I don't want to be trash. I feel afk players should be kicked by the game after 30 seconds of not responding and put in a new player who's on line asap. I am not sure how this is possible, but I want to get the Breackneck and I also like to play Gambit.

I do so enjoy being on console.
