Seriously 3-5 minute repop on NMs?

[Sorel]

Nobody has stated why 3-5mins is "too short". Except "its too short" and perhaps "too extreme change from XI", to which I reply, who cares? If there is no proper argument for the cooldown it should not be changed in any way. "I can't deal with this massive of a change without getting a seizure" is not a proper argument.

Fair enough. There is no practical difference between a 5-minute respawn and a 10-minute respawn, except an additional 5 minute wait.

But there is something to be said for having "some" wait in between spawns. Like I said before, it is mostly psychological, but I still see some value in it.

It's when the wait makes participating in the content completely impractical (e.g. staying up until 1am for a 5-hour respawn because you decide to tuck you kids into bed at 8pm). That's not only not necessary, but also discouraging for players.
