Don't afk in my strikes.

I have nothing better to do but kill your guardian and your KD until it sends you to orbit. Enjoyed every second of this, more so than doing the actual strike. "YOU COULD'VE RAN X AMOUNT OF TIMES THROUGH STRIKES AND HURR YOU NEED TO ACKNOWLEDGE YOU ARE WORSE THAN SATAN BECAUSE YADDA YADDA YADDA" Bruh, 919 strikes so far on my Titan alone. I'm good. Believe me. I'm set for vanguard marks and all that. Chill. Edit 1: Holy crap, 14 likes? THIS WAS POSTED FOR FUN. Edit 2: So... I'm guessing the Destiny community agrees with me? 27 likes so far. Edit 3: I love the irony of all the people coming to the thread to tell me no one cares. Are you guys serious? lol Edit 4 (THE BIG ONE): [b]He wasn't afk for a few minutes-[/b] This guy was away long enough for us to push him to Hellmouth and drop him into the hole over 60 times. When he finally left, he was alive and had not produced a ghost. Either he shut off his console, went to dashboard, or the game returned him to orbit for being away. [b]He had/has a history of AFKing in games-[/b] We looked on Destiny Database, looked at his recent games, and saw an obvious pattern. 15 of the past 25 games this player got 0-4 kills, several of the strikes were incomplete, and all were started with full fireteams. [b]The 'other guy' who was carrying us is my girlfriend, we were in a party together-[/b] Yeah, again, assumptions make an ass out of some of you. She helped push him over, helped kill him all those times, and helped res him. We had a hell of a time laughing and making fun of the guy the WHOLE TIME. This was fun. Maybe even a bit of a bonding experience for us. [b]Killing him over and over was far more fun than actually running the strike-[/b] We laughed, joked, and even put on Alpha Lupi to res him faster. We had some random there trying to help us and invited him to the party to talk. If the time is what has you bothered, it was late in the week. Vanguard mark were maxed, Sneezes had already gotten like 6 exotics from the Raids and from Nightfall. We were just playing to play. [b]"No one cares"-[/b] Since apparently its a cardinal sin for me to mention the likes, lets say this: it was trending, tons of people commented, plenty of them seemed to care (either enough to complain or enough to say "JOB WELL DONE"). You are simply wrong. [b]Afk? AFK?! HOW DARE YOU, I HAVE NO KEYBOARD- [/b] Well its really used as a general term. You're splitting hairs and have missed the point. Not sure what else to tell you. [b]BUT I AFK ALL THE TIME LIFE HAPPENS-[/b] If you afk for a full strike, you are part of the problem. Yes, I understand, sometimes the dog needs to go out. Yes, I know, kids get into trouble. If you are away for a few minutes, no biggy. Come back, lets play, good luck. But if you can't sit down and play for like 8 minutes to finish a strike without being interrupted, maybe stop trying to play something that forces multiplayer. Or you know, don't have a kid you aren't ready for. http://images.wikia.com/mungyodance/images/3/39/1354237059761.jpg [b]We didn't use sparrows to kill him. [/b] [u]I will never ever carry an afker through a strike. No, its not hard to run. No, I will not let someone get a reward for not playing the game. [/u] EDIT 5: [quote]Quitters Never Win While finessing a boss encounter is all well and good, you won’t appreciate the difference unless you actively participate in the Strike. That might make all the sense in the world to you, but there are players in our world who prefer to hang out in the rear with the gear and let their Fireteam brave all the danger. Once again, John Hopson is on the case. User Research, after all, is all about the science of improving the player experience. JH: In Destiny’s community, the efforts of a dedicated player can have a huge impact on the experience of hundreds or thousands of other players. Most of the time, this is awesome. When someone is willing to put in the time as a Raid sherpa, a clan leader, or a forum moderator, we all benefit and Destiny comes a little bit closer to its potential as a shared world. Unfortunately, there are a few individuals who have put in that same level of monomaniacal effort into being jerks. Sitting idle in Strikes and PvP has been on our radar for a while now, but it’s become clear that a small number of the worst idlers are responsible for damaging the experiences of thousands of other players. One player not contributing in an activity might seem like a small thing, but it can make a Weekly Heroic Strike unbeatable or make a Crucible match unwinnable. Those little bits of damage to the experiences other players adds up over time. This week, we’ve restricted a small number of the most toxic players from matchmaking. The restrictions we’re putting on their accounts are temporary and apply only to the activities where they were chronically idle. If the affected players keep up this behavior after the restrictions lapse, we will apply stronger and (eventually) permanent restrictions on their accounts. How this policy applies to you: 1) It probably doesn’t. Do not panic just because you had to put down the controller in a Strike last week when the pizza guy showed up just as your fireteam reached Valus Ta'aurc. There is no way you will accidentally be flagged under this policy unless you are a truly dedicated idler, someone who has really gone out their way to repeatedly cheat their teammates. 2) Please be sure to use the reporting system to let us know how your teammates are affecting your Destiny experience, both positively and negatively. We will never act on player reports alone, but we use those reports to find areas and individuals where our automated detection systems aren’t working correctly. They are an invaluable part of how we tune the live experience of our game.[/quote] Bungie posted this, here: https://www.bungie.net/en/News/News?aid=12738 Pretty sure that means we win. Go ahead, go afk.

    • If you afk in my strike I'm gonna kill everything in the level and go on with my day. Hope you get a nice easy gift. You going afk= more kills for me. I'm not going to sit there wasting my time pushing you off a cliff.

      I have afk'd a strike a few times simply because the phone rang, someone came to the door, the dogs needed the garden or a family member needed some help. It is called life. If you are too young to understand this then I would suggest playing games a little younger in the age rating. Edit: *facepalm* I am not even going to explain the point I was making of the age rating part of my comment. To those who are butthurt over me saying about afking is ok if something has happened and you are going to be away for 5 mins or so. Go and join another fireteam. To those who are actually making valid points both for and against going afk. Your points are interesting and I had not thought of it in that light. I will keep it in mind in the future.

        • If I see someone afk I will stop playing to eff them up. make it known that they could have finished two strikes in the time they spent here when we arent even halfway through.

        • You know some of us have FAMILIES, and if I hear a bang from the next room and my son crying this game can go to hell because I'm not going to take the time to go to orbit before I go to check on him. Or if I have to go upstairs to fix something for the girls, I'm going to do that too before I worry about what you think about it. You have to be single to have such a mindset, because anyone with a child would know that sometimes stuff happens. Hell, I tried to play one day for ONE STRIKE to finish a bounty and my 19 month old walked up and turned the xbox off on me! Shit happens when you have kids

          • I slowly kept warlock-slapping an afk guy on the Phogoth strike a few days ago towards the hellmouth. Would you know it, they suddenly stopped being afk when I pushed them close to the edge. :P

            • Strike K/D? For real? That's a thing that people try to keep a good ratio on? You guys need to lighten up do some melee only strikes and, you know, fun stuff. Completely agree with the sparrow ram though. A favourite pass time for those pesky afk's.

            • I've apparently done 175 or so strikes. I don't remember many if any AFKs through matchmaking. Sure, some people might quit and then I'll quit if it just started, but the number of AFKs? Could be zero. I just don't find it a big deal. Exit the strike then start again.

              • I guess I`m lucky. I have done maybe a couple hundred strikes and never had a afk player. I`ve had players leave just as we spawn in but thats it.

              • Tis why I either leave or when the "don't die during a strike bounty is up" If you're afk I will kill you and leave.

                • Honestly don't have time to even check for afk. I literally ran out the room 2 days ago as my kid was crying at something. Turns out he pulled down a pile of clothing and got in a panic . Anyway got back 3 or 4 mins later to find the two assholes killing me. It's just a game man. I love it. But it's still just a game. Things happen.

                  • I am 100% with you on the entire topic. But people also go too far. Like others have said. If I stop for any more than like 5 seconds people lose their mind. I give it a minute or so before I start shoving people to their deaths.

                    • With the time you spent killing him 69x you could have completed the strike 5x+. After all that wasted time and effort you put into killing him, the guy still got the reward at the end lol

                      • Some are too passionate about it. One time was getting something to drink for like 1 minute just before the strike was about to start. When I returned, somebody was already trying to push me of somewhere.

                          That is nothing, a friend of mine went AFK wile out of patrol and ended up with 142 deaths because they took too long. Their Patrol KDR will never be the same.
