This seems like a frivolous complain to me, it is what 5 minutes on the timer?

It adds up though. You run a raid 6 times because there’s a piece of gear you need, and you have been unlucky. Someone each time decides to spend 5 mins rolling. That adds up to 30 mins of your time wasted overall. For literally no reason other than someone trying to be scummy and make people leave.
So that is possibly 2 more runs, if everyone is running well and doing things correctly. I guess if it is worth rolling the dice two more times you can really hound people in chat who haven't rolled yet. If you reduce the loot timer by only 3 more minutes than you would be saving 3 minutes per run on people who wait it out and in 6 runs that would be 18 minutes, which is only one more run. So reducing the timer doesn't give you a significant difference in time.It adds up though. You run a raid 6 times because there’s a piece of gear you need, and you have been unlucky.

Look its hard to complain about wasting time when playing a video game but its more than just those 6 runs. Ive been playing 14 since ARR, and 1-2x a week I find myself waiting on rolls. Lets just assume it only happens once a week. over 5 years that is 260 times. Ill even be greatly generous and cut that in half. 130 times at 5 minutes a pop I find myself waiting. That is 650 minutes or 10+ hours just because people are hoping others leave.So that is possibly 2 more runs, if everyone is running well and doing things correctly.

I think reducing the timer down to 3 minutes is a good compromise.
