Cheating? I'm just going to assume you're new to videos games and especially RPG's and MMO's. That is part of the game. How would you expect someone to get higher light levels without farming? It's impossible and built into this game. In fact you CAN'T finish destiny's so called story at level 20 without doing a lot of bounties with out it taking you til destiny 2 comes out. What's that? Oh you have been doing a lot of bounties to raise your level? Well, that's is called farming bounties.
