[quote]Others got to 1060 somehow a lot faster, I have no idea how[/quote] Play lots and lots of Crucible. Drops from Crucible are based on what you have in inventory on your character, because light level doesn't matter, so you just have to keep the highest level drops on your character. Every so often, head to the tower and cash in any Engrams you get. Rinse and repeat. Someone in my clan played 70 matches the first day of the season. He was at 1010 (without artifact) when he started, and ended at 1040 (also without artifact).
