What keeps you from completing PoE 35 (Skolas) every week?

Too difficult

244

No checkpoints

345

Rewards are not equal to the effort

1472

What's your biggest beef with Skolas? I remember having this pressing need to do Crota every single week without fail, and have a full set of raid weapons and armor for 2 characters, it's not an issue of difficulty. I don't do this with PoE and actually have not completed Skolas yet. Why? [b]For me it's mostly the checkpoint[/b], I just don't have that kind of time to play most nights; add in the fact that the rewards are really not any more attractive than doing the level 34 in [u]much[/u] less time and using that etheric light to ascend an older raid weapon that's basically better in every way. Edit: On further thought maybe it's 60/40 the lackluster rewards and not the checkpoint that discourages me, though they are really the same thing in a way: if I could pick it up again the next day at a checkpoint, the effort is less onerous. I'd like to see a single checkpoint right before Skolas (non-sharable) to save a lot of frustration from network issues or time constraints. It's far less demoralizing to say "OK, gotta, go, let's pick this up tomorrow", than "Well I just completely wasted my night." Edit 2: For all you MLG ballers who solo it in an hour, more power to you but the site won't allow me to add another option now. Suffice it to say that this topic is not really intended for your particular demographic, which is suspect is the minority of Destiny players. Edit 3: If your answer is "I do it every week, git gud," then please choose which option you think would make it more appealing than it already is. For your purposes, "too difficult" would equal "takes too long".

    This week's modifiers make it not really worth it truth be told. :/ The fight itself isn't hard, especially the mechanics. However, everything being able to one shot you with melee (I'M LOOKING AT YOU CAPTAINS!) for a real slim chance at some real loot like Six Dreg Pride II? No thanks. The rewards aren't really worth while, especially considering the frustration that will no doubt take place. I like challenges and all don't get me wrong, but at the same time, and yes I'm going to sound selfish here, I would like some sort of decent reward. The class and queen's items are by no means worthwhile. Class items are vanity and do nothing. Queens weaponry is just flat out terrible and everything else trumps them ten fold, even with reforging. In truth I don't even understand the logic behind them other than just being mere trophies. This is honestly how I feel about 35 PoE. You do it to get all three exotic weapons, but after that there is no real purpose for it considering even the Fallen weaponry is lack luster due to their strict PvE perks.
