They aren't worth much with no bounty and there are virtually zero loot drops. The cave was fun because it was something to do and it was rewarding. Raids and strikes and events are fun, but sometimes you just want to run around and kill stuff.
I would like to see 25 rep for a patrol, a few marks, and some drops. I don't want better gear than raiders and heavy pvpers, but I want to feel like there's something easy and fun to do between the core events.

I would take more variety over more rep. Though it would likely need both for me to bother doing them regularly.

I agree with you on the patrols. Scouting Missions, which I think we all agree is the most boring, should be worth like 15 to 20 instead of 10 becuase you constantly go back and forth for 10 rep, seriously bungie, come on. Make the missions worth more rep and include more loot drops. Make the killing missions worth 30 rep and gathering 25, scanning 15.

Destiny to me now is watch youtube and afk in tower because nothing to do.

Yeah scout missions should be worth more, as at least through in rare patrol missions akin to daily events.
