I've enjoyed the expansion immensely but there's one thing that is ruining my impression and overall destiny experience...
Key farming.
I'm an active player in an active clan. After clearing POE lvl 35 twice I really want to help my friends and clan members experience the joy of smashing Skolas (again). But since I can only get rewarded once a week it only makes sense to do it holding a key. So it's off to Skywatch for the most boring 2-4 hours of my life. It's just so infuriating to pull that chest 40, 50, 60 times and come up with nothing but some special ammo synth that I can't delete from my inventory. This problem is exacerbated by the fact everyone in your fire team wants a key before undertaking the POE so it isn't just one key you need. It's 2 or 3 on different players. Add that to the AWESOMENESS of players jumping in the game and pulling a key on their first try. At this point it takes twice as long to pull a key than beating the POE itself. So dumb.
I feel like friggen Old MacDonald over here. I can't stand being at Skywatch anymore. Please make it easier to enjoy the POE.

Bump! I hate this INCONSISTENT treasure key system! I don't care if it takes 2 hours IF I KNOW FOR SURE THAT I WILL GET IT AFTER 2 HOURS! I just went for 4 hours, had both of my friends get it and leave. I have 30+ blue engrams and 100+ special synthesis from one run! Bungie, quit trying to be more stupid!
