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 Sgt Cabose: 10/6/2014 2:21:33 PMThis may have been said below but here goes: *Edited: Good point on recommending to use earth's lev 8 strike for exotics.* I think there's a west side story thing going on here. Rushers, and cleaners (my new coined words). Rushers want to burn strikes for end of mission rewards (rapid strike completion), cleaners want to kill everything from start to finish (possible engram drops). Solution: get on your headset. Figure out what it is you're doing. If you instant matchmake into a group with 2 rushers and you want to clean, you'll upset the rushers. They'll say you aren't contributing to the fight by staying back while they clear the required mission check point areas. The same could be said the other way around. If you rush solo then you're ditching your team. Communication solves this simple misunderstanding. People play differently. End of story. The game doesn't know your preferences. Don't think someone else is being cheap just because it's not your way. There are two very logical and perfectly acceptable ways to do this. When all else fails, build a fire team of friends. It's the only bonafide way of preventing these kinds of frustrations in the first place. Good luck brother. I'm a rusher, but I'm the kind that would hang back if someone had a headset and said something... Cheers.
