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.

    Ive solo'd a Lvl 24 Strike. And even waste a good portion of the time killing respawning enemies due to a public event which happened at the time (My two teammates left me at the very start). And killed every enemy inbetween me and the boss while also killing the boss spawns first. (On the Cabal Command Strike). Yet only had 1 Legendary appear. (To me is completely random as i had a Legendary occur from a chest just before maintenance that i wasnt able to swap yet) Which was a Hunter Cape. And in the end run. I only had 2 rewards (neither of them were Engrams). While in a 3 man team (normally takes 20-30 mins) i get 4 rewards over half the time (with 2 being engrams). So i say, we go at the pace we like. If you dont like it. Go make a fireteam with guys who think the same as you. I'll clear the enemies in the way, but if ill still go at the speed i play at. If someone is lagging behind, ill wait for them at checkpoints. Or at the boss. Its not like the amount of kills affects the rewards in the end. And if i ever lag behind. I dont expect to be waited upon.
