I see alot of people both for and against afk farming. I personally was not happy to hear that people were doing this exploit. However...
I have come to the conclusion that as long as you are farming it under 750 light I'm ok with it. In fact I decided to join the other 64% of the community farming this exploit as well.
Whether you agree or disagree let me just say this. Bungie has created this bounty simulator for so many seasons now and the grind is overkill at this point. My time is valuable as is yours. The fact that weapons I grinded for countless hours are getting sunsetted for literally no reason other than to artificially extend gameplay grinding the same weapons over again is asinine.
Example being I have a perfectly rolled bad omens that I have hundreds of kills in the crucible with. It's definitely my favorite rocket launcher that's not exotic. The max light I can infuse it up to is 1060. I now have the option to grind for another one with the same roll but it's still dependant on a little rng. I spent tons of time grinding for this rocket launcher. I don't want to do it again.
This is just one of many guns I speak of and I haven't included armor either. Point is Bungie has wasted enough of my time. If I can get 8 hours of the 20000 hours I've sunk into this game back then I damn well can and will do so even if it's frowned upon short of cheating.
My suggestion is you do the same or step on a Lego. Your choice.

Just to add, you can probably get matched with 750+ even with < 750 gear. I saw some people under 750 in pubs. Not sure why. The best way is through a full closed fireteam because it not only prevents you from leeching others, it doesn't allow anyone to come in and actually do the forge, extending the timer, and booting you to orbit. An alternative is port disabling script, which slightly slower because it makes the game wait for players that don't exist.
