My fight for your life time goes down REALLY FAST every now and then
Is it REALLY a feature that the more you die, the faster your time goes down?

Yep. After a bunch of deaths it's going to gown down in a split second. Haven't gotten to a point where it goes down instantly. Yet...

Why is that a game mechanic? It should be LONGER, not shorter.

I think the idea is to force you play it safe for a bit and to stop you from being able to kill a fodder enemy during a boss fight over and over.

To clarify, the fight for life timer does not shorten the more you die. It shortens the more you get into fight for life mode without dying.

As KillerBen implied, this mechanic is in place to make it more difficult for players to beat tough fights using the fight for life mechanic.

Well, if you're having your ass kicked and you're frustrated, not getting a chance just makes you more frustrated.

Absolutely not, then people could go into raid bosses and intentionally put themselves down multiple times with a friend reviving them, so that when they go down for real they have 5 minutes to get back up.

If it were to go longer the more you went down, that would also be rewarding failure.

The intention is to make people play more cautiously, and I think it is a good mechanic.

However it wasn't very well executed, because it is supposed to reset after one minutes, except it rarely does. Sometimes I will go down lots in one area, and then 10 minutes later in a new area I will insta-bleed when I go down.

That is illogical. If you are getting frustrated then go play "Spongebob's Day Off - GOTY"

Like it or not dude this is the better way. If it went down slower everytime then you wouldn't be able to die... It's not rocket science.
