Skeleton Keys and Something No One Seems To Understand
Alright so I keep seeing all these posts of people complaining about the lack of keys dropping, and while to some degree I understand and some people have good and interesting ideas to get more. You have to understand something.
THEY. ARE. STRIKE. SPECIAL. DROPS.
The keys are essentially a strikes special armour, weapon, etc, drop except you get to choose what strike reward you get. I know someone who did the psion flayer strike more times then they could count, we're talking over a hundred on top of normally getting it in random strike rotation to get the cloak. She never got it till the keys came out.
The keys are a strikes special drop, so with that in mind think back and try and recall how often those dropped. For some who were crazy lucky, often for others as mentioned above not so much. So please stop complaining about the dang keys and use your brain. Especially when there are many other issues with Destiny to be concerned about.
I apologise if this is a little incoherent and a little all over the place, I wrote this being quite tired.

1 ReplyDrop rate was higher before key introduction. Players had actual farming techniques and depending if the strike was launched on heroic mode, in the playlist, or as the nightfall would modify chances of getting strike specific loot. Now we have straight up RNG for a key. Which yes, lets you go into strikes to get the strike specific loot you want, but they also added in Bonds and Artifacts to those as well. So someone looking to grab an Imago Loop, who only ran the risk of getting the warlock arms [forgot name] or nothing. Now have RNG to get artifacts and bonds as well. They've actually increased the loot pool, which in turn lowers chances of getting what you actually want. We essentially have RNG [key drops] + RNG [higher chest loot potential] . What makes it worse, is that we are limited in how many keys we have, because god forbid we stockpile them for when we actually need them and not for when Bungie feels we're ready to use them. To add to the limitation, read the forums. There are many people who have had keys disappear from their inventories as well for no reason.
