That isn't entirely fair. Yes, there are players who treat the game that way from the beginning, for them it's all about the ends. And everything they do in the interim justifies that end. But there are those of us who play for fun, that still race through those strikes. Not because we only care about the loot, or the leveling up, but because Destiny has a woefully small amount of content, and there comes a point when doing the same strike ninety times, and taking the time to clear it every single time, isn't fun no matter how you swing it. As I've said in other posts, varying levels of difficulty does not make doing the same strike over and over any less tedious. So yeah, when I get into the Strike, I hop on my Sparrow and blast my way through the unimportant enemies who, as others have pointed out, are not even a part of the actual strike, to get to the objective. Why? Because I'm going to have to do it again tomorrow. And the day after, and the day after that. Sometimes numerous times a day.
