Mount collectors, like me, and transmog runners, would love to see some shortcuts for Old Content. You guys put a shortcut to Jaina Proudmore in the relatively short Battle for Dazar’alor. There’s shortcuts in newer raids like Castle Nathria and Vault of the Incarnates. Even Naxxramas, in Northrend, got a shortcut to Sapphiron & Kel’Thuzad. Can the following raids get shortcuts?
The Burning Crusade
Battle for Mount Hyjal: Shortcut to Archimonde
Black Temple: Shortcut to Illidari Council or Illidan Stormrage
Sunwell Plataeu: Shortcut to Kil’Jaeden
Wrath of the Lich King
Ulduar: Shortcut to General Vaxx or Yogg-Saron
Icecrown Citadel: Shortcut to The Lich King
Cataclysm
Firelands: Shortcut to Ragnaros
Dragon Soul: Shortcut to Ultraxion & shortcut to Deathwing
Warlords of Draenor
Highmaul: Shortcut to Cho’gal
I’d mention more from Legion and after, but all Shortcuts are already there for this expansion and all subsequent expansions.

i think there should just be portals from the main city to the final boss of each raid. it’s time.
The portals should just be at the beginning in each raid. Even if they want to do it as a recovery quest like the shortcut to Gul’dan in N/H/M Nighthold or make a simple feat like the Battle for Dazar’alor & Jaina Proudmore needing you to beat her in mythic once.
SIEGE OF ORGRIMMAR. Portal to the actual Orgrimmar part and a portal to Garrosh. Make it so I have to collect 12 tokens from Garrosh over 3 months before I get it, I don’t care. Just don’t make me do literally an hour of SoO every time I want to try for mount or shoulders.

I think it should be four, but I do strongly agree. A portal to Ogrimmar right at the beginning for those who need xmog from Galakras onward would be excellent. We definitely need a portal straight to Garrosh.
I’d still favor loot tokens that drop from the final boss that you can trade in for the Mount or a certain piece of transmog. A simple vendor at the beginning or end of the raid, either/or, you should be allowed to trade in 25 of these “Victory of The Lich King/Yogg-Saron/Garrosh Hellscream” available on the hardest mode of course, to get a piece of transmog gear or 100 for the mount. I’d prefer Bind on Account to share but I’d settle on Binds on Pickup.
Sort of. It is for mythic only and the only reason why they did that was because Horde players found an out of bounds glitch skip that allowed them to skip straight to Jaina. Instead of fixing the out of bounds glitch, blizzard simply allowed a formal skip to take place. But again, only on Mythic.
Also weird how you call BoD ‘relatively short’ when it has 9 bosses. But you act like Sunwell, which has 6, is too long and needs a skip.
This is a very short raid though with the only ‘long part’ being the dialogue before the 2nd boss and waiting for Felmyst to become active.
How would this work? Cho’gall isn’t a boss in Highmaul. Outside of his cameo at the start and the cinematic after Kargath, he only shows up on mythic to be Mar’goks phase 4. Also with Highmaul, Butcher, Spore guy and RISE MOUNTAINS are 100% optional. You only need to do Kargath, twins and Ko’ragh to get to Mar’gok. In fact the guild that got World’s First Highmaul killed Butcher last. Because he was too much of a waste of time to do for his placement in the raid.
