What is the point of a companion gift cooldown?

Lol I don't think that's gonna happen.. The cooldown doesn't add any form of immersion.. In fact it takes away from it.. If I wanted to give someone 10 gifts at one time I could..

I wouldn't say "hey happy birthday Bob.. here's one present"... Then awkwardly stare at Bob for 30 seconds until I could give him another.. Another 30 seconds of awkward silence until I give him another present, and so on, and so on...

Would it harm Bob in any way if I overloaded him with presents? Why does he need a present blocking force field to protect him? Are they afraid he is going to get to excited if I give him too much at one time and have a heart attack?

YOU JUST CONTRADICTED YOURSELF.

you just said:
you can still spam the gifts.
except that you can't spam them.

and that is exactly the point.
you're not supposed to spam them, it's an incentive to use higher tier gifts.
yes YOU CAN use lower tier, but it will take your 30 minutes.

now you understand the point of the cooldown.

This forum broke my immersion.

The only thing that would make it more immersive than to wait for a while between each gift, would be if they inserted a Loading Screen in-between each gift giving.

Would be great if you got a bonus sending them on a mission during the cool down. Kind of like a buff where you get extra results or crit chance if they start the mission while under the Companion Gift cool down buff.

In before role-players begin drowning this thread with the word "immersion".
