Now don’t let this title confuse you. I am happy to see that Siege of Orgrimmar is getting a skip but I can’t for the life of me sit here and not Mention for the millionth time Dragon Soul (Particually one fight and we all know so i dont have to say it again) of all raids still gets ignored by whatever you can call this team running the game ( Don’t @ me about re complaining over a dead topic blah blah blah) I am soley speaking of my experiences/problems actually doing that encounter now seeing it overlooked again for a raid that can be done in 30 or less minutes is quite aggrivating,.
I really hope the youtube community now knowing of this Seige Skip and noteable people on other platforms can drum up some more support for Dragon Soul and I guess ICC if you really want to have that changed. ( I dont they already added a useless skip the boss you have to heal. and said skip is now redundant due to the Healing ability on the Heart of Azeroth Which I think works I have not done ICC in a hot minute but I know it works in legion etc just not past BFA.
Sorry for re bringing up this long winded discussion but I can’t just sit around knowing that my and many other rogues will still not finish them let alone the people running that place for the other items/mounts.
I will understand if this gets moved or removed from this forum I dont mind. Any feedback criticism etc is welcome I love to debate if you can’t see that already. Thanks for reading,
PS. Spread the Word.

I think every raid that drops a mount at the end should get a skip as soon as the raid becomes old.

Spine of Deathwing actually bothers me less than all the rp that goes on in that raid. But yeah, might as well add a skip for folks that have completed it already.

Also idk why people would expect a skip to take you to Madness anyway. Personally I am surprised the skip in SoO is to Garrosh himself, but historically this type of skip would take you to Spine or Blackhorn.
Either way the issue is usually not Spine with reclearing and is instead the constant traveling or slogging through the RP in the middle.
Yeah the RP on the tower and boat is pretty freaking stupid.
The Spine is no big deal.

It’s for farming the mount and shoulders. Just like the Dragon Soul skip would be for Handmaiden and the Blaze Drake.

Tbf Dragon Soul if it is for exclusively mount farming would want a skip to Ultraxion because of the Experiment 12-B.

Some people already have that mount, and if you don’t then it’s not really far into the raid.

And some people already have the Madness mount so why add a skip there? See how silly this argument is? Also Ultraxion is over halfway in because afterwards is a boss rush with way less RP compared to slogging through The Eye and Ultraxion’s trash.

No, it’s far. We have to listen to the circle of idiots squawk about something. A hockey puck or whatever.

The skip would be for those that don’t have the mounts. If you do, then just don’t take the skip. Just go to Ultraxion. I get not wanting his RP, but it doesn’t take long at all to get to him. Maybe add a skip RP option like addons create the skip cinematic option.

I think it doesn’t feel bad for me because of enduring Kael’thas in Tempest Keep and Magister’s Terrace and Arthas on top of ICC, but they really should add a skip RP option.

Great to see this got some replies. I would like to clarify a couple of things that people are saying. 1. Main thing I meant to emphasise over the mounts were the Legendary Daggers (Which for me is why I believe a skip is needed). 2) I totally forgot the amount of RP in this raid but that compared to the Spine encounter itself I would suffer more of that if said skip was already enabled. And lastly outside of the Madness mounts there is a lot of grear weapon transmogs that till this day I see used by players.
Oh one last thing and I am probably spit balling here but hear me out ( this is only my theory and I am most likely wrong) but I would not be surprised at the completion rate of this raid Post Cataclysm and it being on par with a raid that I bet is the least cleared raid that being The Ruby Sanctum, I would put Dragon Soul a bit above this but not by much. Again just a theory but if we got some Analytics from blizzard I would love t be right. ( and I am most likely not .)
Props to anyone with enough Patience to have learned that fight over the years I only wish I were as capable.
Thanks for the replies guys I know this topic has been resurrected far too often. 
For me, Spine isn’t the issue. It’s the rest of the raid before that fight that makes me not want to run it. Either way, I wouldn’t complain with a skip.

IMO we should have a legacy raid setting that, when selected, turns all expansion raid modes into legacy combining all of their modes and only giving you drops for unlockable items at the cost of regular loot drops and gold. Basically you’re not guaranteed to get a drop off any boss, but if you do, you’re guaranteed it’ll be an item that you can learn so long as that boss has one.
This would also skip any RP and just spawn every enemy in advance while giving you an appropriate legacy buff. Selecting standard mode lets the raids exist in their current RP fashion. This way people like me who only are after collectibles can run with our full bags and just go kill the loot pinatas for our chance at drops and let people who want that full immersion experience to have at it.

Nah, I think every raid with more than 5 bosses should get a skip.

Just put 2 skips in for DS, 1 for SoO and 1 for Ulduar. Take maybe 1 afternoon of programming. Boom. Done.
If they added a way to skip RP in Dragon Soul like you can skip cutscenes that would prob be the best change alongside the NPC who initiates the Spine fight finally getting that dialogue option we have wanted since Late MoP/WoD.
Spread the word best you can we still have time to change there minds.

Want to know the annoying thing about Spine? Accidentally killing the Amalgamation before it reaches 9 stacks and having to start all over again.
I don’t wanna know how those who can do spine @ whatever current level/gear is Live must take a lot of patience. Main reason it does deserve some skip love since taking that into account aling with knowing what you are doing in the first place are 2 things most players will never commit too. Prior to giving up on finishing my daggers I ran it few times later down the track but paid to skip spine with gold via group finder. Hopefully now that siege of orgrimmar has a skip coming (not that it needed one over dragon soul) they might do more. ( Not with current dev team though I think they just dont want Dragon Soul to ever be a raid that people want to run. because that is the vibe I have had forever).
