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.

Even though the game isn't nearly as bad with engrams as it was a couple weeks ago, it still doesn't matter. People run strikes to complete them, not farm them. Don't even say that strikes have higher drop rates for weapons. They don't. All enemies have the same drop tables. Speaking my opinion based on data gathered personally and from many others, these things fall into your lap. You will not get a legendary engram because you want one. You will get a legendary engram because the game will give you one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number_generation If you want to farm strikes, do it with friends. If you have problems playing with randoms then don't do the playlist. If you are going to do the playlist, don't try force your values on others, because everyone has an agenda, not just you. Either complete the mission or drop out. If you can't keep up, that's your fault. If they die because they were stupid enough to rush ahead despite not being able to get by, then it's their's. One last thing. Go complain to Bungie about the lack of ingame voice chat. Seriously, this is a coop/competitive multiplayer game and they opted to leave it out because of their "vision" for Destiny. Set them straight.
