Personally i dislike skip mechanics because i never got to do T14 and T15 cause i came late.
I know sort of what you're saying. In BC i was a whole tier behind, but god damn every week i had a new boss and than a new raid to go too. in SoO i literally did LFR in 1 day and than i ahd nothing too look forward too (EVen tho i did go on to heroic)
