I am also in the same boat to some degree I would assume, as the OP. I am not likely doing SCoB any time soon. Why? Because I still need to beat Turn 5. It's not that I personally can't beat it, but I've A) lost interest and B) Am greatly against content that requires a static in order to complete, and C) just haven't had a group of people with me that could all do the right things, when I did "try". In fact the only turn in BCoB1 I have beaten was T1, though, back when it was still relatively new-ish I did try turns 2 and 4 as well. But I only did those because a friend of mine at the time asked if I'd go with him to try it. I did my Coil 1 attempts back before there was even an Enrage Mode strategy for T2. It wasn't until after 2.2 that I finally even got T1 completed succesfully. At this point I already have all i110 gear, except for 1 i100 ring, and I've yet to even step inside BCoB2.

Why do I care about having an i110 gear level? Because that means I'm going to be better at the things I do. I'm going to have more HP and be able to deal more damage. Who wouldn't want that? Right now I'm the best I can be, because I don't include BCoB2 into what I can do and wouldn't even if I had t5 cleared because I would still need a static group to do BCoB2 with and that means having to play at specific times every single week without exception. It's too much of a hassle. I play when I want to play, and I do the content I want to do when I am in-game.

Maybe eventually I'll get to do them. Once they are added to the DF and people are geared up to the point where the dungeons aren't very difficult anymore. But even then, there's mechanics to fights that require knowledge of them in order to counter or else everyone's going to wipe. As evident in the groups that I have tried to do T5 with already in the DF, they can't handle that, so that means BCoB2 isn't going to happen. I'll stick to Hunts and ST and other solo content for now, it enables me to do what I want on my time and still be able to gear up my jobs.
