That's not really the reason people complain. It does take only 8 minutes to train one wizard, that's true. The issue is on a per housing space basis, wizards are the longest time to train of any troop (8 minutes for 4 housing spaces means 120 seconds per housing space, or 5 times slower than a giant). A P.E.K.K.A at 45 minutes per 25 housing spaces is 108 seconds per housing space. The upshot of that is training an army with a lot of wizards makes the entire army very long to train. In the extreme case, a TH10 training a full complement of 60 wizards in 4 barracks takes exactly 2 hours, whereas 12 dragons would only take 90 minutes. (Granted 9 P.E.K.K.As takes 2 hours 15 minutes, but that's because one barracks would have to train 3. 8 P.E.K.K.As take only 90 minutes to train.)

I'm not personally saying the time is too short (I am fine with it, especially given the fact that it used to be 10 minutes), but that's why people complain.
