So it becomes about whether you want to play safe and not use the skip, or play a bit risky and use the skip to have a faster run (if things don't go awry).
I understand what you're saying, but in my opinion it is because you know you'll get thrown back so far if you're not extra cautious on the harder floors, that makes it extra nervy. I know it takes a long time to get there, but for my group, this is what makes us take extra care. I think if we were only going to get put back to floor 150 if we die, we'd take many more risks. Plus the fact that a gold sack on floor 151 is worth the same as a gold sack on floor 199, I think you may get people that clear it once, and then just run 151-160 over and over again for any sack loot they might want. I appreciate that not everyone will agree with me, but I personally like it as it is. It is the only content where you stand to lose a lot of something (in this case progress/time), and I don't think it hurts to have one thing structured this way
