And I said there are other reasons for it too, and you would see that if you do the event.
The main issue is that it is a matter if time. He has only so much time per month, and he didn't think that it was worth the time needed for it.
It is a story event. That is the requirement for the event, so that you can show that your character has some skill. So to show you have skill, you need to have some skill points. It is about his skill, not yours.
Obviously. But again, you are more or less the first person to actually complain about this, while we have had many who complained about it being too hard, they also want to play the game not skipping it, and that was not always skipable. This game is in progress, and we are still working on things, but we only have so much time per month.
