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 GH05T V1P3R: 10/6/2014 4:48:30 AMLet me explain why this is BULLSHIT. Rushing through is how you're gonna get the legendary. You're banking on the end roll. That's why everyone is playing Tiger. Go ahead, tell me that killing the enemies is what's gonna get me the legendary. Go ahead and tell that to the 20 hours and 10,000+ kills since the latest update that have failed to drop even a single legendary. Go ahead and try to convince me that killing the enemies is gonna do anything but waste my time. I swear to God there isn't anything to combat that. 10,000+ kills, no legendary engrams. That's all the proof I need that enemies aren't gonna give me $#!+. 10-15 minutes and then the roll is my only hope since Bungie has decided to make sure that you can't actually enjoy the game, that you have to grind like h€££ if you want something good. 72 hours of gameplay and I still don't have full legendary armor. Argue with me, go ahead. There's not a d@#₦ thing you can say.
