Thank you all for your comments and advice, even those who criticized. I find I no longer care about this subject. I don't need the seals, I was curious because I has never seen an endeavor that like heists that needed two separate chars to achieve.

I totally agree as I do not need any of these seals anyway but the weekly endeavour should encourage people not discourage people.

12 Heists in 7 days is impossible.
1500000 AP points is doable on a very specific build in very specific circumstances.
Infinate Archive is doable on a very specific build in very specific circumstances.

Neither the AP or Infinite Archive requires specific builds or circumstances.

The 6 cycles in Infinite Archive are simple enough and can be done in under an hour.

One Arc has 4 cycles. You just need to reach Arc 2 Cycle 2 and Voila!

Almost like we're being 'encouraged' to buy our goodies via another method...

I won't be doing any of this week's weeklies. It's fine. It's not like it's the first time. I do with they wouldn't clump up weeks with nothing but stuff I don't enjoy, but I can't expect them to plan according to my taste.

I’ve got so many Seals of Endeavor saved up, I can buy a radiant mount and still have some left over for some less expensive mounts and pets.

I normally spend them on a legendary mount as soon as I have enough, but for some reason I haven’t spent any in a while.

So what I’m saying is, I think it’s easy to accumulate Seals of Endeavor, and it’s okay to miss a few days here and there, or even a week.

In fact, I’ve missed several days since endeavors began, as well as a week.

That said, I’m not particularly happy about the 12 Heists endeavor, because I enjoy doing Heists for endeavors but I haven’t got any alts who can do Heists yet.

On the other hand, there have been many daily endeavors which wouldn’t normally be completed “just by playing the game” unless you use multiple characters to do them.

Consider any of the crafting endeavors that call for items from a specific crafting line— they almost always ask for more items than a single character would normally craft while doing daily writs (for example, craft 5 items with woodworking when a writ calls for only 3), such that those endeavors seem to be encouraging players to do writs on multiple characters.

So this weekly endeavor is really sort of an extension of that, encouraging us to do daily Heists on multiple characters.

Although as with any of the other daily and weekly endeavors, we have alternatives we can choose if we want.

For me this IA one is fine, and I always love IA daily/weekly endeavours. The heists should be 7 tops, as weeks only have 7 days, duh! The 150k AP seems extremely hard to do(not a PvPer).

If you are worried about doing the IA one, there are plenty of players doing the IA dailies every day. Just wait for someone to post doing only the first 2 or 3 arcs in the group finder, and join them. Most players doing this can handle those arcs solo easily, they just like it going faster with another player. I am one of those players doing IA run every day, for the dailies. (As long as you do more dps than a companion, you should be good. If you have atleast some knowledge of how the visions, verses, and bosses work, all the better for a smoother run.)

Note: You can actually complete three endeavours in the IA today: Kill 25 enemies(daily), kill tho'at(daily), 6 cycles(weekly). Including both the IA dailies themselves(marauder or fabled/tho'at).

The other surprising thing is that none of the weekly endeavors are related to the ongoing event. In the past, if there's an event, we'd get endeavors that are related to the event.

Instead, we get three completely unrelated weekly endeavors. One of which requires the use of alts.

(BTW, there was a recent daily endeavor to complete two heists. Same problem as this one.)

That's different, because you can craft those items without doing a daily writ quest. You can craft 5 clothing items by...

• Doing two rounds of regular writs.
• Crafting 5 level 1 items and immediately deconning them.
• Crafting a set of gear that you're actually planning to use.
• Doing 5 clothier master writs.

You got options, and while it's nice to get writ rewards from them, you are not forced to do any of this for a quest. I often take that second option of crafting 5 level 1 items that I then just decon, if I don't feel like dealing with the inventory-cleanup hassles of doing multiple rounds of writs.

But your options with heists are much more limited.
