But the world first raiding scene is built around the concept that a new raid comes out, you burn through it as fast as possible in a few weeks by taking vacation time at work, then after the race is over they drop into maintenance mode, go more casual and do split runs and whatnot to slowly regear for the next raid. Without a TF cap, it helps prevent them from ever dropping into maintenance mode. They've gotta push harder every week.
