What made NM camping in FFXI "addicting" was simply that people wanted the loot. There's nothing addictive (or even fun) about waiting. Want adrenaline? Make people actually play to get the mob, instead of making them wait.
Waiting is the polar opposite of adrenaline.

Regarding the waiting in a room scenario, the maps are large enough they could spread the spawn area over a large section of the zone, or have multiple spawn locations across the zone.
Which makes lottery spawning obsolete. If you spread the spawn areas you don't need repop timers/mechanics at all, as searching for an NM before the kill effectively implies times between pops.
Mind you, without mechanics in place to locate the mob, this method ends up being based solely on luck.
