I'm level 28 and I have played it every hour since it has come out if I'm not asleep and I've pulled a few all nighters playing it.
With that being said, engram drops are completely random! Just because you got a legendary in the first few minutes of a farming spot does not make it the best, nor does it mean others will have the same results. You can get 10 blue and 1 legendary in one spot in a couple runs and people are so quick to jump and call it the best. Quit, do it again, and I bet you wont have the same results. Also enemy level does not matter. I've gotten more drops from lower level people, it seems like, than higher level. But like I said it is completely random.
One thing I have noticed is the higher the level you are the more common blue and legendary engrams are. Lately, with my level rising, I have been getting more legendary.
The "best" farming spot in my opinion is any spot you can kill a big group of enemies quickly, and kill yourself. It just increases your chances of drops.
I think the level thing about engrams is true as now I am level 26 and been getting a lot more blues and slightly occasionally purple engrams. In my case however all my blues have been rares and purple slightly Legendary with most turning into rares or strangers coins. Also I wish you well on your health and your results.
