Sorry, but it took my friends and I less than 4 days to reach 1050 on 3 characters to do the dungeon with zero forge farming and we took a lot of breaks and played other games in that time while some of us worked full time jobs all of those days. It’s not that hard. If you don’t feel like grinding or don’t have time, then don’t play the game, play something else, simple as that. Ruining other people’s experience to skip the grind cause you don’t wanna do it is inexcusable. To all the people who group up together, properly lower your light or time jump to avoid matchmaking with people trying to actually do the forge, while i still don’t condone the practice, thank you for being conscientious of other players. But there’s a lot of players who don’t give af and plague the forges with afkers making it impossible to actually run a forge without a full group. And that’s what pisses me off the most about it. Additionally, regardless of what kind or how efficient of a leveling system they implement, if there’s an easier cheesier method that yields great rewards for less effort (as is currently the afk forge farm) intended or not by the developers, people will gravitate towards it because they almost always follow the path of least resistance as evidenced time and time again throughout Destiny’s history. The vast majority of the player base always goes for the cheese.
