Contest modifier offers an incredibly unique and difficult challenge that's not present anywhere else in the game. It can give people the same feel of the day 1 raid even if they weren't able to make it there on launch. Adding the option could also possibly provide an extra piece a loot per encounter completion or triumphs as incentive. The raid becomes a cakewalk in terms of difficulty in comparison after day 1 and I believe this is a change many people currently want and would help keep raids interesting and relevant when played repeatedly.

Yes please can this be a thing!!! I tried and failed day one DSC but had so much fun doing it because it was challenging( even is not as hard as previous raids) and would love to be able to try and to see if I can do it without the time limit! Also yeah having now done it without contest this is almost too easy so more challenge would be good to have!
