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.

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.
