I definitely think a 3x is needed. Because, as it was already mentioned, x12 times longer for a PoW block to find is absolutely incompatible with a 1 month of a coin's life and is completely unfair for people spending electricity and hardware life.
I definitely think (mostly because of the Jollyburner's posts) that the dev doesn't want to do a hard fork because the amount of PoW he is doing with his wallet of min 192 mil right now is quite good for him, and he doesn't want to change things.
If they take it down to x3 - it will require a hard fork - meaning more issues for idle workers
along with the fact that people have PoS blocks waiting, x12 will help PoS stabilize, when it does it will go down to normal levels
This is only because PoS didn't work for a while so there's a huge backlog of coins over 15 coinage
