Keys give basically a 100% to light level 400, haveing a guaranteed drop would break the game. If drops from the chest did not go up to 400 I would be fine with it.

Not exactly, as there are only strike-exclusive helmets, gauntlets, and class items. Artifacts & ghosts may also drop, but I've yet to see anyone get non-exclusive armor pieces from hoard chests. All weapon slots are accounted for across various strikes, so those can also reach max light.

Some of us could care less, a bad rolled Grasp at 400 light can still be fused into another weapon.....who cares if its Strike specific gear. Just saying, if the give keys away people would just have to run Stikes.......their already doing it anyway.

I don't think you fully understood what I meant: it's [b]not[/b] possible to get 400 light gear from hoard chests until you're already 397+. It's only helpful to get the artifact most people would be missing once they're at 397+. Skeleton keys are also not a viable farming method as their drop rates are very small. People don't use them to make their way up to 400 light, they'll save them to even up any lower gear once they're already near max light (often artifacts). However, that still doesn't include chest or leg armor, so they'll still need to depend on RnG from faction packages or the raid.

Agreed, but when your 390 it can drop 392 gear, and when your 392 it can drop 394 gear and so on. It's good that they are rare and people save them to finish, I'm just saying that if you got a key on every other strike like some want there would be little need for anything else. Keep the them hard to get.

Think of Strikes as the PvE version of crucible, crucible games can take you up to 400 light now, and the legendary weapons drop pretty frequently. So as to make up for that for the Strikes, they need to up the chance so it'll drop as much as Crucible, or start off less of a chance and gradually raise to a high chance then resetting whenever you get on.

So can everything else that can drop at that level, but they are far more frequent than skeleton keys. Currently, it is nowhere near as productive as farming exotic engrams. In the time I've tried getting a single skeleton key, I've already had 3-10 exotic engrams drop, plus a few extra from rares/legendaries decrypting into exotics. I probably still didn't get a skeleton key to drop after all that.
