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.

People want the marks and to finish bounties. If you just want to mindlessly grind mobs you can do that anywhere anytime.

I received more exotics and legendarys throught speedruns than compared to kill every single mob in a strike. But to each his own. Just dont expect me waiting for you :D
-
Or I can get 10 strikes done in the time it takes you to do 2 giving me 20 to 40 blues in the time you get 1 purple.

Only in darkness zones

exactly! agree 100%
-
You have no real proof though...
-
Where does it say that the lvl 24 strikes have a higher drop rate. It was my understanding that every single mob in the game has the EXACT same drop rate. The only time you should kill the mobs is when you have to do it in order to progress. Other than that, it's literally a waste of time.

Holy shit are you on topic OP. I've been ditched a half dozen times in the last week doing strikes by idiots on speeder bikes racing to the next locked down area. It's so weak.

I always do vanguard tiger and race towards the boss..didn't notice there would be a higher drop rate.YOU HAVE SHINE LIGHT ON ME FELLOW GUARDIAN

Haha -blam!- me I never even thought about that
