Yeah, I agree with this. It's really not a hard fix. Testing where the line is doesn't help all the time. As stated by some already, some areas the reive monsters go all the way to the line. Especially when you're in places like Sih Gates where the reive area is so small and you have multiple Craklaws spinning and knocking you around and stunning you. 5 seconds isn't a lot of time to react. If there is significant lag, you may lose a few seconds and just see your chat log filled all at once.
Solution:
1. Extend time outside of Colonization Reives and Lair Reives to 10 seconds.
2. Separate timers for entering Colonization Reives and Lair Reives (5 minutes still). So for example, you can bypass a Lair Reive once to get to a Colonization Reive. However, now you can't enter another Lair Reive for 5 minutes. This removes the abuse of running out of range constantly to de-aggro the same Reive.
3. Put a glowing blue dotted line at the perimeter of reives when the reive is up. FFXIV has a dotted line like this for zone perimeters. We know it's possible in FFXI through various glowing seals you walk through. (Windurst [S], Abyssea Martello/Bastion)
5 seconds for leaving reive area isnt enough

The big problem isn't the 5 seconds, it's the delay before it tells you that you left. You start running back, but dont' make it in time, because you were 30 yalms away before it started counting.
