why legendary campaign take so long and the rewards don't feel great to have either I feel like im wasting my time with it.
#legendary take for ever to get done

I'd recommend doing it with one other person. Doing it in a team of 3 makes enemies bullet sponges but 2man is pretty chill
The only thing you're missing out on when not doing legend is an exotic from the DLC (either WQ, beyond light or TFS)

Legendary campaign is so you can actually enjoy the campaign and not mow through everything in your path with a primary. Difficulty also depends on your gear and playstyle
I played all legendary campaigns when I started playing 3 months back and found it damn difficult, had to repeat some of them several times, look up youtube videos, etc. Repeated with alt character 2 weeks back and found legendary campaign easy, with an optimised build and more experience
TLDR - Get an optimised build which works for you and you'll breeze through legendary campaign solo. Go in unprepared and they'll be super tough

Legendary campaign gets you two drops per checkpoint in the mission, a full set of soft power gear and an new exotic. At release it's very helpful for getting up to power.

It also gives enough materials (upgrade modules, cores, prisms, glimmer, etc.) so you're set and don't need to farm for a while. It also prepares you for GMs/harder content where you can't just go guns blazing like a berserker 🙂
If you get stuck on something, ask for help in lfg. I really got stuck on calus (lightfall final mission) and needed help. Granted I still had non-masterworked mid-tier armor at that point (didn't realise you could buy prisms and shards, newbie mistake)
