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.

As far as I care, these rushers can rush if they want to.. but they can also die (only ingame, if course) because if it. They are as annoying as those "I'm after that 'Finish a strike without dying'"-guys. You know.. those people that hide every time it gets harder so they wont die. But I have to say I love it when people try doing this on moons strike. At the end boss there is one spot (next to the cliff) where people love to hide, because they can shoot everything from there.. but they are almost not to hit by enemy fire. I'm a warlock.. I push them always down the cliff if they hang out there. I don't like glitchers, bugusers, leechers and rushers. I'm pretty sure those guys don't like me either :D Edit: Problem is.. my english is pretty bad and I know my initial post is responsible for this.. uhm.. I'd like to call it a shitstorm. It's not easy to describe the situation I was facing there. There was this landing pad were sometimes a few dropships bring in some new troops. That's a place those guys could see. They also could see this ramp (?) that led to the main part of this room and just a few feet from that part. When I saw them a few of those enemies that came via drop ship walked up that ramp and than just stood there. A few of them moved back to their waypoints (as if you have walked out of their "area". At some point npc's stop following you and walk back to their positions) or engaged me. Ranged enemies only shot at that rock between themselfs and my two party members while one of them just shot back without getting hit. Everything else in that room was attacking just me.. enemies that walked up the other ramp as well. I'm not a prick.. A lot of times I meet people on earths strike who hide - for exsample - as far away from that walking tank as they can while firing a few rounds here and there. I'm okay with that. Those guys may often be not very usefull, but at least they draw some attention in their direction.. or do some damage. At least those guys try to contribute something to the team instead of.. sacrificing it for their own goals. But that one case I tried to explain was, that two guys glitched in an area they were not supposed to be (how the AI acted proofes that in my opinion) and as a result I was reduced to cannon fodder. All those wizzards and knights in that room were on me.. thank's to those guys funny glitch back than. I also was worried about getting banned myself. Those guys were part of my strike team, using glitches and I was on their spot as well while trying to figure out what thos two guys were up to. After I saw it I pushed them (so they respawn back ON the map) and jumped back in the fight as well. After this we all finished that strike as it's supposed to and everything was fine.
