It is by far the most efficient strategy to level your character. If the game had a more efficient leveling system built into it's more legitimate systems we would be utilizing that. Many other games have leveling systems that put you close to end game levels at the end of story content. So you don't have to work as hard. This game makes you play hours upon hours, days upon weeks even, to get to end game levels. And it makes you play content we've already been playing up to this point.
TLDR: If you Make a better leveling experience, you will get more players who want to engage with it And not *want* to find the exploits.

My friend wants me to end up helping with dungeons etc. I am incredibly bored of the game and have zero interest in playing it for hours a day to level up. They’ve made the overall grind boring and too long. That grind has completely put me off the game (I didn’t even play last season) and my only interest is to play very casually with my friend. I can either farm power level so I feel it’s worthwhile me playing the other activities or I can not play the game at all. There is no in between for me. Bungie’s call.
