I haven't actually checked it yet. Between all the new content to do and the horrible lag I had forgotten about it already. Awesome that it doesn't apply to the timers tho, so it's just annoying and still interrupts some interactions but now I don't really care anymore haha. Thanks!
i have recently re-spec'd into Fey Thistle and have been noticing the same thing. it wouldn't really bother me at all but it eats up the time on my Black Ice armor, glyphs and keeps me from interacting with collectables.
