I don't ever make topics complaining about randoms being bad, but this just struck me as odd, and made me curious to how other people handle it.

I'm playing with three randoms and wave 6 and we get a hack. I'm playing with 2 Krogan Warlords, and randoms playing Krogan are notorious for being dimwits looking to smash everything in sight (nothing wrong with wanting to smash stuff with a Krogan, that's what they're there for, but they're usually way to agressive to the point it's annoying) and a Shadow. The previous objective was enable 4 devices, and they weren't all that helpful, after i realized they weren't going to do them i ran and got the majority of them.

Anyways, i run to the hack circle and no one is there (players or enemies), i wait there for about 30 or so seconds and they're still of trying to smash everything. I usually don't say anything but at this point i was pretty aggravated cus the hack circle with one person takes forever. I tell them "hey you guys want to come over to the circle or what?" with slight attitude. One Krogan shows up, fidgeting because there wasn't anything for him to kill. He runs off after less than 10 seconds to go kill stuff. I waited for a little longer, frustrated on how long it was taking i said to myself "fine they can do this by themselves" and quit.

Don't know how often that happens to everyone but i rarely get it that bad, i've noticed it increase a ton the past couple of days, i can only assume the dlc brought the trash back to the game.

That's the only time i ever rage quited, i coincidently looked at my rep and saw i was marked for quitting early, and thought to myself, yeah that seems about right. What do you guys do when randoms aren't helping out on objectives?

I tend to complete the match then kick the offending party (I usually have one guy with me so I can't get kicked for trying to kick him).

I let them be. Sure it'll take more time but if we can extract I'd rather not waste my time looking for another lobby.

We're they out there killing or dying? If they were killing then they were doing there job (which I assume is so since nothing was bothering you). If they were dying then finish the objective and get 'accidentally' sync killed.

He mad.

@ orange
I agree. I've spent too much time searching for lobbies. Lately I keep getting dropped mid game. Pisses me off. I just quit those immediately. Even worse, I search, then it gives the "waiting for players" glitch. or just "You have lost connection to EA" window. Awful. Never had this many issues playing other games. Sick of waiting and staring at menus longer than I have to.

Dont worry about the Rep system with XBL. It is common knowledge that it doesen't work as it should (only reports people who have preferred you, or avoided you instead of giving you a +1 for people 'not' reviewing you).

If it has any affect on match making, it is minor.

Pretty much this. Someone marked me for 'quitting early' too when the only time I've ever done so is due to a disconnect.

Not worried about rep, just thought it was pretty asinine that they marked me. I usually just go on and deal with it but i just had enough after a few games in a row of worthless players.

Xbox players are pretty asinine in general. And apparently my mom is sleeping with all of them.

What I usually do when this happens is stand just outside the hacking circle, but not in it, and wait. If they won't want to do the objective then we'll fail. If they do come back to the objective I'll hop back into the circle.

Seems to work every time.

I knew rep was meaningless since 2007 when I was playing WWE games. I win cleanly and most of my opponents rage enough to give me "unsporting" because I didn't put down the controller and let them win.
