If your issue with attaining the rewards for playing specific classes is that they are not fun to play, perhaps you could give suggestions that would make them fun to play, rather than trying to short-circuit the procedure.

You are not being forced to do anything. It's argueable that these past life feats are worth the effort anyways... I was dreading monk life after hearing horror stories of how gear intensive they are. Ended up being one of my favourite lives so far. I wanted to do a ranger life before artificer so I can get the +2 ranged deal... but I've never done any melee twf toons or arcane archers. So a buddy of mine gave me a ranger/monk ninja spy shortsword build that looks really fun. So I was able to find a way to make a not so fun life for me, into something of an experiment and so far it's working, having fun...
Choosing the past life of a past life you never actually had... completely defeats the idea of a past life...
Maybe you should consider dual boxing then? One box is a build/class you enjoy playing, and just drag the other character along?
A man spends his entire life praying, daily, to god that he'll win the lottery. Upon his death he's standing before the throne and says "Lord, I've been faithful and dutiful my whole life. I'm thankful for the life I was given, but how come you never granted my one greatest desire to win the lottery?"
To which God replies: "You never bought a lottery ticket."
Your desire is not entitlement. Do the work and receive payment, whether that's a job and a paycheck, work-out at the gym and get a ripped body, attend classes and become more knowledgeable, or play a game and get a minor increase to that character's abilities.
Just wanting these past lives is not sufficient reason for you having them.
