Does server progression matter?

I think to some extent your server progression has a big effect on you even if you aren't at the high end of it.

For instance, I know exactly who first killed Illidan on my server because no one has; in fact we only have one guild that's at Hyjal and less than a dozen in SSC.

This has a large effect on the economy (epic gems are almost non-existent, for instance) and quality of players available outside of raiding, for both Heroics and Arena; just clearing Kara is a major deal for a guild on my server, whereas on others I've heard pugging Kara is not uncommon.

It's thus very likely that if that one guild (since obviously no one else will be able to for a long time) wanted to go through Sunwell 25 they simply would not be able to with the requirement Blizzard had in mind, since they'd have to do all of the unlocking themselves.

I think a lot of people are underestimating how different server progression can be if they think it's not relevant.
