Dear AFKers, your "fun" time is almost up!

[Smurfboy]

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.

I have ran into several while running strikes. A few times that it has happened, the person who sat in the spawn had more kills than I had from finishing the strike legit. Needless to say I had no remorse for reporting them.

I haven't played the game in months but that always irritated me. I basically solo the strike while the other guy is afk at the start. In the end he still gets random loot for doing nothing. Or the guy that follows you up until the end then hides while you kill the boss. Eventually I started just leading enemies to their location and letting them die. One guy I just slowly pushed off a cliff.
