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.

Even if the forge afk farm is patched they should leave the recaster armor powerful engram exploit. Earn your engrams and materials, recast for a powerful drop. This allows players to level quickly by playing the game how they want. Then we get into end game content quicker and can begin making builds. I get burnt out and quit playing every season and usually quit playing before I even get to builds. This is a huge problem that needs to be solved.
