I recorded the results of 1K blue engrams. Here's the results.
Sometime after the cryptarch patch, i decided to help any of you numbers people (and myself) and get an idea of the chances of what 'rare' engrams would turn into. (If you don't believe me, my Titan's CT level is proof enough.)
Copied directly from my notes:
________________
Blues-
Blue items: 838 = 83.8%
Purple items: 16 = 1.6%
Motes/coins: 146 = 14.6%
________________
Long story short, you have roughly a 1.6% chance to get a Legendary out of a Rare engram. (I don't know what it was pre-patch, it might have been under 1%.)
While i was at it, i took note of what any Legendary engrams turned into (out of 100):
Purple items: 64 = 64%
Exotic items: 6 = 6%
Upgrade items: 30 = 30%
________________
EDIT 3: Updated Legendary numbers. This should be a little more accurate than the previous numbers.
So there you go. You can take these numbers into consideration before you decide to talk about how lucky (or unlucky) you were. Enjoy.
SIDE EDIT: I may update this with results from Legendaries if i get enough between now and a possible update to the CT.
EDIT 2: A few answers to some questions:
-Yes, upgrade items are ascendent shards/energy.
-Titan's current cryptarch level is 106. (dat nightfall bonus)
-I couldn't tell you how many hours it took to do this. I know i started around week 5 or 6. A third or so of those blue engrams came from Tiger strikes, completion or obtained during, and at least half the legendaries were heroic or strike completions or package rewards.
-I doubt CT level has any effect on odds, but at some point you might get a package with 3 legendaries. I did at 87, one of each weapon slot.

That hasn't been working right long before the release. Now it seems they care less whether it works or not. (typical xbox live attitude they still have) With well over a 100 hours in. I've only received one epic item from a tiger strike. I saw one epic engram drop (I looked very closely at it). Only for it to turn green when I picked it up. I'm now sitting on [b]142 shards [/b]and 62 energies. Energy is low because I have upgraded several of my weapons. That's not including all the armor and weapons I've collected that I don't need to break down now. I can't get raid armor gear at all. Other people in the raids I've been playing with get two boots or two gloves. Leaving me out every time. So as I see it, the frustration level for almost everyone left playing this game (the population has dropped big time) has gone beyond the pale. My advice is to move on to AC, COD or whatever. These people were more interested in fixing atheon on hard. So over 98% of the population can't kill him at all. The old bungie's pets and punches attitude. (I'm a long time halo vet) Which hurts the warlocks the most because the helmet is there. For me its clear the next raid will be another absolute waste of time. Thank god I didn't preorder the expansion packs. But that doesn't help those who did and are now stuck playing this bugged mess. Who'll will be dealing with a very low population by then. Zebra anyone lol... Added note; My friend just played a raid on normal. Whereas they weren't transported to the relix during atheon. Which sounds great but you don't get bonus damage without that transport. So now even the normal atheon fight is as bugged as hell and their not going to fix it at all. Why not? They made their money from that and they moved on to the next raid. Free from doing it your way I'm sure. Problem is can you do the next raid without being a 30? Great work bungled what's next, sugar in everyone's gas tank? Thanks for wasting my time...
