Imagine the following: You were there when T11 started, you worked your way up, starting in 346 gear, spent hours and hours wiping on normal modes when you finally reach, lets say, 12/12 NHC.
Now, your guild tells you to stay out for this ID, and ofc you still want to complete it. You want to pug it and are able to choose from:
a) Someone who has never seen BWD or BoT from inside, that has barely read a guide and saw the first 2 minutes of a Video.
b) Someone who has done all those fights. People who worked their way up the ladder just like you, who wiped hours and know the fight and its mechanics 110%.
Who would you choose?
Sure, it's a different thing now after the nerfs. But you can't deny the advantage of choosing someone who has already done the fight over someone who still has to learn it (although there are many who only have those Achievements because they were carried).
