Spawn rate is currently decreased by 80% in newbie areas..

Meaning the spawn-rate of mobs is 180% of the default rate?

Spawn rate is currently decreased by 80% in newbie areas. This will be announced in our go live post the week of launch. It will stay this way for launch until the population spreads out (probably a few days), and/or it will be scaled down to a lesser value.

Sounds like a great solution. Once the early rush is over, things can be scaled down until classic.

If he means spawn timer is decreased by 80% in newbie zones, then I believe that means spawn rate is quintupled.

spawn timer is equal to what it usually is = normal spawn rate (if you kill a mob, it will respawn once after 6m40s)
spawn timer is 20% of what it usually is = 5x spawn rate (if you could instakill a mob, it would respawn 5 times in 6m40s)

Yes spawn times are reduced.

Agree with Baler that the bugs forums are being flooded with "I don't remember it being like this.." with no evidence.
