  Timesink - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A timesink is a term used to describe things that consume a lot of time.
Common timesinks are fights where you only have to press the same attack-button again and again or quests that require you to run for a long time to deliver an item from one NPC to another.
Another time sink is the fact that life and mana regenerate in general much slower than offline RPGs, usually forcing the player to sit and wait for the life and mana to regenerate so that it is safe to continue fighting monsters.
