15 minute content timer needs to be reduced to removed

The 15 minute content timer that prevents you from entering content is horrific. This needs to be removed in 2.0 if not sooner.

It provides nothing to the game and actually contributes to some huge barriers and detriments to the game overall.

Some individuals use the 15 minute timer to go AFK -- and forget to come back. It happens all the time. If we could perpetually enter content, quick bathroom/laundry/food breaks can still occur on their own time.

Significant time is completely wasted during the 15 minute wait. Two successful runs of anything and you've already lost a half hour. I thought the entire point of 2.0 and the remake of the game was to make content accessible? This 15 minute timer is not a feature that encourages accessibility. It is an artificial time barrier that irritates and angers many players including myself.

Please remove/reduce the 15 minute content timer. Zero to five minutes is acceptable.

I think at the moment, this is due to server limitations.
Let's say up to X instances are available and the event is new or it is during a crowded weekend or time slot. Without a cooldown, some people might find themselves locked out of the run permanently because some people keep on hogging it.

Forced sharing if you have it.

I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with server load and everything to do with slowing down player progression in order to make content last longer.

15min timer for Hamlet is the worse. Its during those 15minutes that many begin to think: wait, why am I doing this?

I kinda like those 15 min, is the time i use to relax, eat, bathroom etc. If i did dungeon or primals without the 15min wait i will get bored or exhausted of doing it back to back non-stop

It's either a hit or miss. Sometimes the 15 minute break is welcome, others it is a huge annoyance.

Garuda is a perfect example of why the timer is there, content isn't meant tobe beat in 3 minutes. If they removed the timer I'm sure they would lower the drop rate to achieve the balance they desire.Also it keeps everyone from being ale to be in the instance at the same time.
