You can't mathematically analyze with
Guessing. Math is fact, and without factual numbers it is not a mathematical analysis. I have spent an entire day at the cave an only got 1 legendary and then another day I received 8 legendary engrams in 3 hours. If you want to do the math go sit there for a set time, count up your greens blues and purples. Then create a % per set game period played at the cave. IE 60 greens 12 blues 1 purple per 2 hours spent at the cave. Then go break down your engrams and put numbers out for what they turned in to. You also need to disclaimer variables such as pauses in action for public events or the faction skirmish that happens there. After all of that you would be able to tell us your personal averages. That would allow people to evaluate if it was worth their time to do the cave or not.

you know what? for someone who is lazy enough to sit in front of a cave for hours on end, wouldnt it surprise you that im lazy enough not to sit there and do nothing hours on end because lets face it, we are both being lazy by gaming so the point is moot. how long did you say it took you to get all legendaries? in terms of hours solely spent farming the "loot cave" it would take an extraordinary amount of time. this is the only thing I was attempting to demonstrate

Thing is I dunno. I am in the military and have a wife and 3 kids. 1 of which is 4 months old so sometimes I get in a fire team with some friends and just hang out at the cave and participate in the public events while I help with my kids. Friends support me so that when we all want to do VoG on the weekend I am geared enough to participate. I am fortunate that the cave has been relatively nice to me.

then I salute you sir, I'm not saying that the "loot cave" is a bad thing, honestly as long as more people can be high level to do raids and such then I'm happy, but a lot of people dont know what the point is of playing a game like this without all the best gear, not realizing that there is more than gear... thing is bungie limited the content so much that it is boring for a lot of people, including myself, but gosh darn it Destiny is trying so hard to make sure im having fun while being bored!
