I think this raid is very long to get to Garrosh Hellscream, and it all because the way the raid was made back in the day. I think we really need a way to skip - and this is as someone who has farmed raids for mounts since forever, I always feel terrible about this one like the time is just not worth it.
Here is a list of the bosses and why this raid takes so long to farm and complete.
Immerseus: Delayed by mechanics that cannot be avoided.
Norushen : Delayed by RP.
Sha of Pride : Delayed by having to clear all the globes to spawn the boss, some classes are very slow at this. Then delayed by more RP after the fight.
Galakras : Delayed by mines to spawn the boss. Delayed by mechanic inside the boss, having to wait for tower.
Spoils of Pandaria : Delayed by mechanic of the fight.
Paragons of the Klaxxi : Delayed by the mechanic of the fight, has the chance of bugging out completely if killed too quickly - learned to take off twilight devastation. Wasted 20 minutes zoning back in.
General : The sheer size of the raid and amount of walking in between bosses - it is above average than other raids.
I think the best way of implementing a skip is to open the door to Garrosh without having to clear the other two doors.

While they’re at it can I just be teleported to the end bosses corpse with the mount on their body, thanks.

Pretty much, just give me that 1/500 chance for the tusks for logging in.

Your snark isn’t needed - the OP has a point. SoO is a horrendously long raid to run, and it definitely needs skips. Two things would make this place much less of a waste of time to run:
- Put in a portal straight to the gates of Org from the beginning of the instance
- As the OP said, have all the interior wing doors open so you can do them in any order you want (or not at all)
Would really make farming specific mog pieces massively less inconvenient.

Actually really surprised to see so much shade being thrown at OP.
I fully agree a skip of some sort needs to be added, doing this on multiple toons per week for tusks or mount farming turns into a very large time sink. Having the interior wing doors open and being able to just run straight to paragon would be a huge bonus.

WoD had good ideas with skips that went forward and it would be nice if they could be applied to older raids.
And its not that I want to be directly teleported to the end boss, but seriously having to clear that entire raid takes quite a bit of time. I would be fine with being able to skip to certain points.
-One skip sends too Galakras (Above ground Org)
-One skip sends to Malkorok (Underground area)
-One skip sends to Paragons (Old God stuff)

It only really bugs out if you click on the amber that starts the fight while they are still talking.
But yeah SoO really needs a skip.
Immerseus, Galakras and Spoils are bosses that take forever due to how the encounters are structured. At least with Galakras though you only need to clear out 1 tower.
There is nothing but cosmetic things out of SoO that people wan’t, either deal with running the raid or don’t. I don’t understand why people want it to be even easier than it already is.
I’ve been saying for years legacy raids should give you a run buff once you enter, bosses with RP, should be attackable during the RP so you can skip it, and mobs that are required to die for the progress of the raid should have their aggression range increased so that they see you as easily as they did when the content was current.
