Loot cave was the most efficient form of patrol (Destiny)

so could not possibly be the least efficient way to play Destiny.

Though I grant you that you get less spin metal. To make up the deficiit you would have to do some some normal patrolling that was less efficient in terms of:

• loot
  
• killing
  
• high level enemies moving against each other
  
• public event guaranteed gold tiers
  
• cryptarch ranking
  
• grimoire ranking
  
• weapon parts

.

You can pick up some spin metal whilst doing missions near the loot cave but you would get more spin metal foraging around the edges of the divide.

Nevertheless, patrolling became much more time intensive once the loot cave was gone. And foraging around the edges of the divide was a drag.

Have you played Destiny without patrolling?
