I've done the raid legit pretty much every time. I've cheesed the bridge a few times, buy never Crota. He's easy to beat if everyone does their job and listens. Recently though, I've begun skipping through Deathsinger, not because I can't do it, but because having to convince my team to do it for No rewards is a pain in the ass. Just give a loot drop off it and people would gladly deal with it. For those saying the Deathsinger is just like through Gorgons Maze and they didn't give rewards either, you are wrong. The spire formation Gives the first chest, the confluxes and oracles are pretty much the same part and you get rewards there. Then a boss fight with the Templar, again for rewards. Finally you get down to the maze, where three of the chests for the raid are contained. Thus rewarding you for not getting caught by Gorgons. Then of course Gatekeeper and Aetheon rewards. The Deathsinger is the Gatekeeper for Crota, So rewards there would make sense.
