Re-spawn Times

With the server icecrown pushing 12k players DAILY it has become insanley tasking to do anything with a respawn time. For example. collecting quest....When you need to gather 10 items that only spawn in 1 spot, and they respawn ever 3 min with only 5-6 of them....But you're fighting 15 other players for them.....a 5 min quest becomes 30 min or longer. Same with NPC quest, i feel respawns are just too low compared to the server population. It has become such a chore to do anything now.
