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.

I have to politely disagree with you. My family and I when there are only 2 of us on and we are wanting to run the 22 or 24 strikes if it is a zone that we can speed through to get to the first ghost spawn we will. No sense wasting time killing guys when the point of running these strikes are for the XP and the reputation. If you want to kill 100's of guys for the lucky chance of a engram dropping do what people used to do. Cave farm or go to a high density patrol area where guys spawn constantly. My brother and I were on Devils lair and we had a guy just sit back in the beginning through the entire strike. We did all 3 waves in the first conflict. 2 man the giant tank thing and 2 man'd Septik PRime. He gets all the rewards with out ANY of the work. So no, i dont agree with you on killing everything in a strike when you could do that solo. Strikes are for completing as quickly and efficiently as possible.
