It became a meme because of that; the JP actually didn't skip soar as their base strat and beat him fine.
Unlike some people, I actually participate in this content. The sheer amount of people who couldn't do Soar, let alone had the DPS to skip it, was staggering. Plenty of groups with five and even six DPS still couldn't skip. Zurvan demonstrated just how many people cannot perform a basic rotation. He literally did next to nothing prior to Soar. Negligible auto-attacks and telegraphed aoes. Anyone with knowledge of the fight and their job should have skipped Soar. The check to do so was incredibly lenient. Regardless, if people advertised a "Skip Soar" farm party and you join yet have nowhere near the DPS to adequately skip. Why are you there in the first place? You aren't entitled to farming birds because you want one. The group clearly labeled their expectations and you didn't meet them.

I'll acknowledge doing the actual mechanic wasn't a big deal, but the meme originated due to how easy skipping Soar was with decent players. Not orange, top tier raiders. Just players who could perform a proper opener, healers that actually turned on Cleric Stance and tanks that didn't hug their tank stance.
