You're both right and wrong. Yes your odds of getting engrams are markedly improved by taking the time to kill every last bugger between you and the boss. However, a lot of us, especially at higher levels, are grinding strikes for bounties. I'm working on the Bad Juju bounty and must complete 25 strikes. I REALLY don't care to slaughter every single minion every single time since there are only five strikes to pick from and it rapidly gets uber-boring.

then go fly threw a lvl 10 strike buy yourself. some of us are trying to get loot.

First of all, you physically cannot do a strike by yourself. Every strike (except for nightfall) is matchmaking. So.... no idea what you're saying for that one. Secondly, going through a lvl 10 is pointless because the endgame loot is guaranteed to be useless where as the higher difficulty ones will occasionally drop legendaries.

you mentioned nothing of loot. you were commenting on doing them solely for a bounty, therefore, the low level ones are perfect. Get threw em quick, just run to the boss and kill him. very few people are doing the low ones, therefore, you will likely be buy yourself. I have done many buy myself for bad juju. or you will be with someone doing the exact same thing. It was a suggestion. I have done it before. took like 4 hours to get the 25

Every time I've done a low level strike I am paired with two other people. Literally every single time. And while I didn't mention loot the first time, if I'm going to be burning that much time doing strikes I want to go the route that could potentially net me a few legendaries along the way.
-
couldn't you just do the low level strikes then?
-
Yes except the loot dropped in low level strikes is guaranteed to be useless whereas the loot from higher level strikes can occasionally drop legendary stuff, even exotics.
-
That's what I did....I wouldn't recommend it. It makes a strike boring so fast.

This guy gets it.
