They can never get their story straight with the loot cave. (Destiny)

So the loot cave activity will give the same loot per minute as any other activity therefore you will get less loot per minute doing the loot cave activity.

Wat?

Presumably the drop rate is the same but you're not getting "end of mission" rewards, so overall you're getting less than doing say, Tiger Strikes?
