The point is that it takes an awful lot longer for it to become routine.

On the other hand drastically reducing accessibility to content means that the developer effectively developed content for just the few people that manage to get a shot at it. Advocating such a possibility in a game that already *lacks* content is rather funny.
I'm not advocating that at all. Having an NM pop during a 30 minute window does not reduce accessibility for those who do not have a lot of time on their hands.

"too frequently" is arbitrary.
Ah, so we're playing word games. In that case, 'too infrequently' is equally arbitrary.

Even with a short respawn timer, linkshells would have to organize in order to bring a sufficent number of people with the right class mix to the fight (if it's challenging enough). Which, by itself, makes the situation different than "the norm".
You are still discounting the fact that many people enjoy the scarcity of these NMs. You don't enjoy that aspect, which is fine, but it is pointless vilifying those who do.
