We are clearly using different definitions of 'routine'. You do realise that words often have multiple definitions, right?

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/routine

'...dull or uninteresting; commonplace.'

Of course it does. It's an extremely predictable spawn time, and turns the camp in an overcamped mess, meaning that people will very rarely even get a shot at the mob, bahving to wait another 30 minutes, then another 30, then another 30 and so forth. It's most definitely not "only" 30 minutes.
Everyone still has a shot at the claim. I am no more likely to get the claim than you, yet you would not see me complaining.

Luckily, the definition of a timesink is not.
A lot of things can be counted as a time sink if you look at them cumulatively. Spending an extra 10 minutes in bed every morning is a time sink, assuming that's the reasoning you are clinging to.

"Many"? Rather elastic definition of a vast minority of vocal elitists. Let's not pull people by the nose. Most of those enjoy keeping other people out of that "exclusive club", not the "scarcity" of the NM. There are quite a few example in this very thread.
That's an assumption. I certainly don't feel that way and it would be naive of me to think of myself as somehow being especially sensitive to the needs of those pressed for time.
