I mean, yeah sure you can't enjoy the rest of the patch at your own pace, but hey world first is about dedication and skill, competition is a cruel world, if you are not ready to press the skip button to go faster you're not ready at all.
World first racers don't craft their own gear/food/pots, they have dedicated teams on the side that do these things for them while they push into the tier as hard as they can without them.
