In fact, most Conti cars recommend change of rotor when changing brake pads.
But the norm here is, changing rotor is the last resort. If nothing, don't bother. Skim when necessary.
Brake pad skimming, needed?

I hear an 'unskimmed' brake disc will wear out your brake pads faster, and can't provide smooth braking. Depending on the condition la. But to be honest...2 years is very short isn't it? Your brake disc now is definitely not perfect...but its not all that bad lah. Not necessary to skim it so early.
