So people attempt to 2 man a game that is designed to be for 4 players, deliberately handicapping themselves, and they deserve extra credits?

I've stated this before, the credit system is greatly flawed and should be a pool system instead. So say there is a group of 4 people who beat gold together. They should get 70,000+ credits. If two people beat gold together they should get the other two missing players credits, for a total of around 140,000+ credits each.
Why stop there then? credits can be based the points of each individual player. Just getting further and further from the team system, more into a do everything for yourself mindset that's obviously how co-op multiplayers are designed to work, bioware especially.

I've started to notice that about 30% of my games with random people contain at least one person who walks away from his/her controller at some point and waits for the team to finish the game. While this was irksome on the silver rounds, it's absolutely infuriating on gold rounds since that 4th person is usually the difference between finishing the round entirely and making it to the 4th wave. Even worse, since roughly 3/4 of the awards are group achievements, that person who has not fired a single shot nor moved has pretty much profited just as much as you did.
So what I propose is a 2 pronged policy that would make multiplayer better for everyone.
1) Bioware should implement a 5 min AFK policy built into the next patch. When a player has not moved an inch in 5 minutes, he's booted from the game. I doubt this would affect anyone else but people who have literally walked away from the game.
2) Scores should reflect the amount of team members. If there are crazy people out there that want to try beating the game with one or two members (and I know they're out there - god bless them lol), they should get a bigger bonus than squads of 4 members. And likewise, if someone is booted or leaves from the game just as is starts and you have to beat the game with less members than you planned, you should have that recognized in your credits/achievements at the end as well.
What do you think? Personally, I think that's both fair and fun, but maybe I missed/need to add something extra?

Ah, what have we here? It seems you are someone who never had to experience one of those bugs that prevent you from doing anything.
Losing everything you earned until a bug occurs because of that bug preventing you from doing anything is not fair!

b. Make getting credit/xp for a wave dependent on scoring at least 3 times. If you can't get at least 3 assists in a round you don't deserve a reward for it, and for the most part can't be replicated with rubberbands.

Hmm... Yes and no, for instance, the other day, my father fell down and hurt himself while he was half asleep. I immediately drop the controller, and go to help him back into bed, while my game was still running. Once he was back safe in bed, I continued on and finished the match. Yea, it kinda sucked for the rest of the guys who had to pick up the slack, but I'm thankful that I still got rewarded for at least the waves I participated in. Just imagine yourself on the afk end.

Not too sure about this. As an infiltrator, on the capture objectives when playing with good players, I have ran off to cap objectives, and finished on the other side of the map, and by the time I get back to where the action is, the other three have finished off the wave. Doesn't happen often, but it does happen. Maybe base it off points instead of assists, since you still get points for objectives and such.
The source of the issue in the cases i think of is either bioware or the host, there are gliches that are little to nothing related to the connection. And the bad connection of the host can be a reason for lags of other players too...ForTuchanka wrote...
Hrmm.... unfair for 3 players versus unfair for the single player who is the source of the issue... not a hard choice to make.
3 playing 1 kicked is no advantage compared to 3 playing 1 bugged, it is still 3 playing.Not doing anything negatively affects the majority of the team who need to make up for it.

PEE BREAK Y'ALL.
So no.
