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.

Edited by longevity: 10/6/2014 5:05:33 AMdone the strikes so many times and they are kinda boring to me now so I just want to get through it as fast as possible for the guaranteed rewards at the end If I do 3 strikes in the time you do 2 I still kill a bunch of extra mobs but I received 3 end rewards instead of 2 I find patrols tedious when they make you fly around the map and I'm not gonna stand around bored waiting for public events thus I do strikes and I want to do them fast, if there is a bounty that coincides wit the strike, even better no idea why you can't figure out why peeps doing something 100x makes them want it to go as fast as possible because the trash mobs are just pure tedium this happens in ALL MMO's. Peeps repeat stuff a TON of times and just want it to go as fast as humanly possible for the tiny progression it gives. you can generally skip every single thing in a strike that isn't in a darkness zone. they go hella fast when you skip all the other trash.
