It's not hard really. Just grinding out the story & sub quest will put you on a good enough path to get you to at least 260 within a day. That is just on the engram drops & reward loot obtained from the quest. Going beyond that does take a bit of time commitment to the game depending on how quickly you want to get things done. On top of that, most people won't be honest about there current work/school situation just to rid themselves of any potential trolling directed there way.
