I'm not big into PvP. I enjoy it, but am not very good. I think that if it weren't for lag switching, and some other things players exploit, it should definitely be a requirement for the emblem. I suppose the same thing could be said for PvE. The requirements aren't very difficult at all. Unless you didn't complete skolas before the patch. I seem to find it very difficult to find a team that is capable of beating the "new" skolas. Maybe it's me! Who knows.
