This was addressed in the weekly update on 10/22.

In hindsight, it felt really freakin’ long (like, glacially long), the rewards weren’t good enough for the effort, and only awarding progress on winning in certain steps led to frustration and quitting. Going forward, the Questline will be shorter. Completing matches will give you progress in most cases, and we’ll be giving you more freedom to choose how you complete it. Instead of having to complete one Quest at a time, you can complete multiple Quests all at once. This should enable you to progress though many steps at once, and you should have an easier time pairing up with friends to finish it. And, the Crucible Weekly Bounty rewards have already been buffed in 2.0.1.2, so you should see some more endgame-level gear for your weekly efforts.[/quote] I'm hoping this Quest will be fixed in the next update. I still haven't completed on any character because spending hours on a Quest that rewards crap blue items and depends on the team you get instead of individual effort in the Crucible wasn't worth the time.
