Why yes... yes there was. On the beta forums at least. There was a monster of a thread, hundred of pages by the time it finally died out.
It was... a volatile thread to say the least... There was a lot of white knighting and involved in defense of the blanketed 90 min dungeon timer. Another common theme was a refusal to understand/acknowledge that there is more than one way to enjoy/use dungeons. That there are some players, such as roleplayers, who may have valid reasons for wanting to stay in dungeons longer, and that no, it really doesn't affect the population at large. And if it did, well... that points to much bigger issues surrounding the design of the game as well as its server architecture.
Unfortunately, it appears that the beta forums aren't even just locked/archived for reference/viewing and but are unaccessible at all to users. I just did a quick search on the official forums as they are now, and I don't see anything super relevant, except for a couple of 2012 threads concerning them.Â

They don't seem to hit the same sweet spot that the Beta one did, and are out of date now that ARR is actually around.
