STOP racing through the Strikes if you actually want Legendary Rewards

It's getting to be a common thing now during the Lvl 24 Strikes that I see these kids race as fast as they can through the Strike usually hopping on their speeder bypassing the first several mobs of lower level enemies which is fine but then they continue on and bypass as many of the Lvl 24 enemies as they can just to get to the final boss quicker. Why? The boss gives you nothing and your chances of getting anything worthwhile from the end game roll are poor odds for the amount of time it takes to complete each Strike. Your best shot of getting a Legendary Engram drop or at least multiple blue Engrams to give you a chance at Legendary gear and to rank up the Cryptarch is to kill every Lvl 24 enemy up to the boss because that is where all of my Legendary Engrams have come from and I get at least half of my blue Engrams from Mob drops to go along with what I get in the end game roll. The Lvl 24 Tiger Strikes since the last patch appear to have a higher drop rate than the normal game modes at least in the areas you're facing Lvl 24 enemies, and so bypassing them to finish the Strike faster is just decreasing your chance of getting multiple drops. There's little other reason to be grinding Lvl 24 Strikes in that manner because you can earn Vanguard rep faster farming Patrols, Vanguard Marks faster farming Public Events, and if you need a bunch of Strikes for a Bounty run the Lvl 8 Devil's Lair on Earth and get them done quick. So don't be that guy that runs way out ahead of everyone else. Don't waste you and your teammates chances for more Legendary/Exotic drops. It doesn't take but an extra 5 minutes or so to clear out all the Lvl 24 enemies your bypassing between you and the Boss when you do it as a group.

  • [quote]Time and time again during the Lvl 24 Strikes I see these kids race as fast as they can through the Strikes usually hopping on their speeder bypassing the first several waves of lower level enemies and some even bypassing many of the Lvl 24 enemies as well just to get to the final boss. Why? The boss gives you nothing and your chances of getting anything worthwhile from the end game roll are terrible. Your best shot of getting a Legendary Engram or at least multiple blue Engrams that one might turn into a Legendary item is to kill every single enemy up to the boss because that is where all of my Legendary Engrams have come from. The Lvl 24 Strikes have a higher drop rate than the normal game modes and so bypassing even low level enemies at the start is just bypassing your chance of getting Legendary gear. You're basically just wasting yours and everyone else's time in the Strike because there's no other reason to do Strikes. You can earn Vanguard rep 5x faster farming Patrols, Vanguard Marks 5x faster farming Public Events, and if you need Strikes for a Bounty run the Lvl 8 Devil's Lair on Earth. Don't be that guy. Don't waste your time.[/quote] I noticed a real change of behaviour in the last week. Players standing not playing at all or running in as you mention. It pretty much screws up the entire game IMO. This behaviour could be the real death knell for Destiny. If it doesn't function as a single player story mode and it doesn't function playing with other players, what's left? Crucible? Not for me.
