Animations Vs game timer
With more and more attack animations taking a few seconds to complete this has got to start adding up over the 5min duration of a battle. I know it not major with everything else the community need...

I speculate that the game was released with a 5 minute timer due to the 10 min cooldown between Squad Arena attempts.
Previously in the era of shard chats, people would milk the clock to prevent others from fighting them. That prohibited increasing the game clock, due to abuse of the timer.
When GAC was added, they used a 5:00 timer because that had become the default and what we were used to.
Times have changed. The game has grown. Animations are longer and more involved. Abilities are more complex and require more thought.
So is there actually harm in increasing the timer to 6 or 7 minutes for GAC? It would reflect the evolution of the game, considering the longer animations and increasingly detailed abilities/kits.
