it seems like half the forum is in an outrage over forge afking, which allows you to reach the powerful cap extremely quickly without doing anything. I don’t really see why though because I feel like the light level grinding part of the game has always gotten a ton of criticism, as every new content release for the past year or so has just been the same gameplay loop of “Do all your powerfuls and pinnacles on all your characters until week 2 or 3 when you hit the powerful cap, then spend a few weeks doing pinnacles until you are the power cap”. Forge afking completely circumvents hours upon hours of the same mundane vanguard, crucible, gambit, gunsmith bounties and lets us skip right to the pinnacle grinding part of the gameplay loop which I guess is why I don’t understand why people are complaining. NO ONE likes doing those bounties, so heres a way to get straight to the cap without doing any. But people still complain and argue about “Cheating” and it being “Unfair to legit players”. First of all it’s not cheating, second of all no one cares that you are a “legit player”. If you’re grinding power level legitimately right now you are just sabotaging yourself out of hours of play by not just abandoning your moral high ground and afking forges like everyone else. I can understand the people who are upset that they are trying to do forge content and keep getting afkers, I don’t know why people are afking at a level at which they can match other people and that’s their fault. But if you are upset about forge farming because you think it’s cheating, game breaking etc, why do you care? People don’t like doing the same weekly bounties every week. If there’s a workaround to that then it’s a blessing.
