Estimated time of completion
Painbringer
Just a suggestion would it be possible to add an average time of completion to the mission and quest descriptions? If it is too much to do all maybe just an indication on the ones that average over an hour to complete. In today’s time constrained rush of life it would be very helpful. I hate starting ones then having to quit before they are complete. Knowing in advance you can plan ahead to finish it. Yes I search wiki but a quick indication would reduce wiki searching.

PUG? 2 hours to never.
Heroes? 1-2 hours.
Good guild group? 1 hour.
If you're playing with heroes, you can leave the game afk, and continue when you have time.
If you're playing with other people, ask them how long it'll take.
The problem here is that your average time is not my average time. Running through Factions missions yesterday, I averaged 16 minutes per mission for 6 consecutive missions.
Does it help if I tell you that Factions missions take 16 minutes on average to complete?
For example, DoA with a good, rested, experienced, balanced and overall great group takes between 1-2 hours per area. A PUG will need 3-6 hours for same task, and will almost certainly not succeed.
All GW:EN mission and dungeon content is in 1-2 hour range. Dungeons are a bit longer than missions. Exception is Slaver's exile, which is a bit slower.
Everything else however will depend on your team build.

Antheus sums it up nicely. There is no true "average time." It all depends on the players bar, their team, and their pace (ie, if you are going through the game for the first time and stoping a lot to take in the scenery).

So true you are correct. I was just thinking something that would say you will need at least an hour for this quest or you will need at least 2 hours ETC… If you can do it faster that is great but just a rough idea would be nice.
