AFK and Crucible Marks (Destiny)

So... with the split of the old Bungie.net(s) and the current one this was a bit harder to track down than I'd like (meaning it took three searches instead of one) but your fears of a system flawed at its core are almost certainly unfounded. Bungie has been tracking and banning or penalizing AFKers since at least Reach. For instance, a Eurogamer.net article about Reach back in 2011 notes Bungie reseting the credits of AFK boosters. Here's an official thread on Waypoint confirming that AFK boosting was detectable by automated systems and against the rules. I also seem to remember AFKing being something either fixed in Halo 3 or addressed specifically in a title update but can't find it.

Honestly though, Cody, it's like you go out of your way to think up problems with Destiny but don't spend any time checking to see if the problems have been addressed. :/
