They eventually reduced the spires timers to 5 minutes and forced you to hail the person at the spires for an item, which when sitting within the area, would be required to be ported.

I don't have a problem with the 15 minute timers, I do with the 5 minute timers. Once you got to the Nexus, you always had another 5-10 minute wait until you could take the spires back down because they never lined up perfectly.

In my opinion, the game went to wrong with the Planes of Power portal stones in Plane of Knowledge. That allowed you to cross the world in an instant, taking the massive world out of the equation.

pretty much my thoughts exactly
