If you're not going to obtain 50 epoch stones each week, and kill 5 rares and 20 elites every week on your alt, and just want to go there to snag all of the chests for some gear on an alt, this can be useful to save you time, especially if you're like me and log the alt and then feel uninspired after flying to the isle. +Rep to OP as I would not have thought to do this.
