No people too focused on get motes and never bother killing the enemy when they have too many. It annoying when people only get motes the invade and never get a kill when the other side has all there moves or worst when yr team invader is trying to kill the other team with a shitty power weapon

Playing gambit is a penalty though.

If you don't want players doing that, tell Bungie to simply take Milestones off of Gambit then. People want to level up-- not play Gambit. There are too many avenues to level in D2. It makes leveling feel unrewarding and same-y throughout every Season. If you don't want farmers, make the actual engaging content more rewarding to play. Simple as that.

Report them and move on. They'll get their consequences if it's constant

Back when I was actively playing this thing really rubbed me the wrong way. Not just in Gambit, but in any match-made activity. While forges are doable by 2 players, I'm not Esoterickk to solo them, thus if second player is not doing anything - we're failing the forge. Strikes may be the only exception that are doable solo, but in Gambit (which is one of my favourite activities, so colour me biased), having a static player is worse than not having a full roster. Because if you shorthanded, you have a chance of newcomer. When you have full roster with 1 player standing on spawn doing nothing, emoting, walking in place and shooting into nowhere - it's much worse. Having player who occupies the spawn with "get off my lawn" attitude, killing invaders trying to kill him is slightly better, but still, not the best. I'm not confusing this with pre-Prime "sentinels" who stayed behind near bank and was shooting from there using long range weaponry - this is a totally different case. And thing I don't understand is when same player played previous match against you and was best in his team, yet this time he does nothing. Only to start playing next normally. I'd understood need for latrine, but why you emoting then? Wireless keyboard, trained pet to press the button? Why not to warn team you have a nature call and go AFK? So difficult to type "I'm on shitter/taking a leak, brb"? The only solution I see is to remove participation rewards whatsoever. Not just play match, but play it actively. In Gambit it's not necessarily to haul a whole lotta motes - there is not enough of them, but some activity counter/tracker would solve the problem. I understand there are bad players who may be afraid they won't earn enough activity statistics, but when it comes to Crucible - I'm one of them, my k/d 0.3, I doubt anyone is worse, I may well be [b][i]the [/i][/b]worst regular Crucible player ever. Yet I still manage to earn some "defeats", zones capture/defends, so even if I am worst among both teams, I still have some stat accumulated. And bungee are not that helpless to not being able to track real idlers from just us, bad players. :)

I'm sorry but until Bungie overhaul their progression system and stop making people play content that they simply don't want to play in order to raise their power level then this is to expected

Report them I guess?

Honestly playing gambit is a penalty already and if I see 3 trash cans with bows I might as well quit cause we are going to lose

Boo hoo. Sometimes people have a family or work emergency pop up during the middle of a gambit match. They do take around 15-20 min per match. I recently had a work issue that I had to deal with come up at the start of round 2. Sorry, but not sorry. It's a GAME, not a life or death situation. If you lose a match, you still get rewards. Besides, that's what I see people doing now - just working on their bounties or waiting for the match to end so they can collect the daily or weekly powerful rewards. People I've played with recently just don't seem to be playing the objective. They invade constantly, not doing anything else (bounty), or kill lots of ads and do not pick up any motes (bounty), run around scarfing up motes not letting anyone else get them (bounty), or sit around doing emotes (waiting for powerful rewards). My strategy (since I really don't like Gambit) is to not pick up any bounties. I'm not interested in Hush. I don't care about my seasonal rank. I got my 21% Delirium last season and Breakneck the season before that. I just play how it should be played - kill ads, deposit motes, invade when it matters (lots of un-deposited motes or when you need to reverse primeval damage), and use weapons and supers that are efficient at dropping the enemies. That is not how most people are playing and it shows. If you really want a match with little to no chance of folks dropping, make a fireteam of 4 and go in as a communicating stack. You'll have a better chance of winning that way too (even though it doesn't matter).

People should just learn how to play. You can actually still play, and win, with bows. But who am I kidding. Bungie makes these quests with no regard to 3 other people on the team. And if you’re just playing for the reward, just friggin kill stuff! I play crucible for the reward but at least I try and kill something.

Once had a Gambit match where one guy on my team had like 85 motes deposited, I had 45, and the two other blueberries had 0 deposited. It wasn’t even like they were in a fireteam intentionally sabotaging, it was two random blueberries who both happened to be absolute ass.

As long as the game has quests and rewards tied to activities players don’t enjoy you’ll keep seeing it
