I'm kind of glad that they did it this way. In pve content, there are shortcuts you can take. You can find a cheese spot, or a glitch that completely negates the challenge. In pvp, the only way to cheese is to boost, and you have to live with the fact that you had to stoop to that level to finish a quest. When you see someone with the chaperone or an exotic sword you know they went through some serious business to get it.
