This week it took me max 3 hours to complete 32 34 and 35 on 1 char. That means it took around 1 hour each poe. I Wouldn't say its too hard. *Get a good team together. *Have a microphone. *Check the app for what race you will face each round and bring the weapons needed for that modifier. *Make sure to discuss your perks so you benefit each other. *Make sure to have tactics ready for what is to come. If for example heavy ammo spawns my job is to put a blinding bubble on top of it and jump in and out and blow up everything, while one of my team mates finish of the things I miss and the 3rd is disabling mines. This is not about having friends. I do this with random people, both from the Bungie forum and Facebook communities. Etheric light is not time consuming to get. Not at all. However it will require you to do some more work than when you join your average crucible and spin around hoping to hit someone. Plan ahead and use tactics. That is the key. If you can't do it you either need to change your plan or look to yourself what you are doing wrong. It's not the game holding you back. It's you.
