Other currency (Destiny)

I dunno if its entirely true that the Loot Rate/Hour was the same with and without the Loot Cave at that time period was actually the same. I could play for an hour and get like, 3 or 4 loot drops through normal play vs. the Loot Cave's 20-30.

I thought the comparison wasn't "Loot cave vs. normal play" but "Loot cave vs. specifically running missions/bounties/crucible to generate faction currencies" where you could get the legendary gear you need.
