[quote]Speedrunning strikes by skipping low+high lvl mobs is NOT EFFICIENT for loot[/quote]
However it is EFFICIENT if you are getting REP, bounties, and vanguard marks. Since the loot system is complete RNG the most EFFICIENT way would be to grind mobs during patrol.

problem with grinding mobs during patrol is that other people mess it up. That's not very efficient. Like I said, rep/bounties/marks or whatever, everyone's there for that. So faster that people KILL stuff and MORE stuff that people kill = more loot. You want a fine balance of loot from random engrams you pick up + random engrams as reward as well as guaranteed rewards through marks + rep.

you could always solo farm any story instance on lvl 20+ if efficient farming is what you want, why do it in strikes? (I dont really care about this argument, just trying to add perspective)

Edited by coffeerox: 10/6/2014 3:37:56 PMYou're not getting it. You're averaging MORE ENGRAMS if you kill everything in respawn restricted zones + bosses. If you do this process FASTER and more EFFICIENT, you get MORE LOOT. How do you think I farm for strange coins? I don't do it by skipping level appropriate mobs I'll tell you that. You end up with maybe 1 or 2 unidenitified engrams but guess how much I end up with? Double that and then start adding up overall engrams acquired and with the fixing of the Cryptarch, I end up getting more Strange Coins + Motes of Light and Legendary items than you do. The problem with the Destiny community is that I'm always AHEAD of the curve with the latest and most efficient strategies but everytime I try to inform people, people always come back with inefficient, illogical and bandwagon strategies that I've heard a million times. Therefore I always appear antagonistic towards everyone cause people DON'T LISTEN! They'd rather have their get rich quick schemes and then realize weeks down the line they've been doing it all wrong all along, just like the loot cave. You think I've been farming the loot cave? LOL

Wow u suck at not coming off arrogant

Coffeerox - you have almost 7 days in your main, I have less than 12 hours in my alt character and have further progress than you (higher amount of light). Please do not give tips on how to be EFFICIENT because you are clearly one of the most INEFFICIENT players in Destiny.

Oh I get what you are saying. I think you're the one who doesn't get what I'm saying. Everyone has their way of playing and not everyone wants to spend hours in the same strike. And most "speed" groups I've seen always cleared restricted area mobs. You can do what you said just as well in story instances where you dont need others to conform is what I was saying, I was only trying to make you look at it from another perspective which you clearly don't want to. /end of discussion (I hate losing time talking to walls)

I get what you're saying by doing story missions but I have a good memory of the story missions having repeated them recently and very few of them are efficient for farming. The strikes are more efficient b/c you get the rewards screen + the dropped engrams. I'm not asking people to spend hours in the same strike. That's inefficient. I'm talking about quick clears with more kills. That's what I'm talking about. I don't think I like this new get rich quick scheme and I can see it ruining the game real quick all because a hive mind thinks it's the best but actually not.
