I was wondering what missions people thought weren't worth the effort. Now, I'm not talking abot the effort of the player (because that's most of them), I'm talking about which missions wouldn't be worth the hero's time.
I would have to say the Kodonur Crossroads mission wouldn't be worth the risk to the hero. Surrendering to the Kournans and risking our lives just to cut off Kourna's glue supply? To me this doesn't seem like a necessary risk.
Any missions come to mind?
Missions that just aren't worth it

"The Wilds" in prophecies is pretty much pointless. I think it's smart not to follow people who know the jungle well into the jungle and try to attack them. Come on, now, no one should be that dumb.
Knight O Cydonia
not so sure about missions, but im sure luring away some bees in pre searing seems a bit on the light side compared to defeating gods.

Borlis Pass.
We could as well have stayed in Ascalon behind a big wall.
But noooooooo Rurik had to be a retard and run across a mountaint infested with enemy.

The Great Wall. Pointless to just run out to confirm the Charr and there and then hauling ass back to say "Uh....ya they are still there and infact they are right behind me". GG

Tihark Orchards. Let's go through all these bullshit to gain the princes' audience!
*Out drink this guy for liver failure* *Duel a drunken necromancer actor to catch some disease* *Murder some sketchy lady* *Duel a mime until all my limbs fall off from utter exhaustion*
Me: Hey princes, help us against Varesh?
Princes: Nah, ho.

Any of the challenge missions?

If no one is to bring you to the Gates of Desolation and help tracking Palawa, then you'll be lost and the plot won't go on.
Befriending the Centaurs was key for success.
Hm... the three Crystal Desert and Nahpui quarter.
They were worthless.
Come on, Prophecies characters have to work hard.
Factons have just to kill some chicken and inflatable christmas decorations.
But Elonians have just to kill some bugs!
Come on! I killed thousands of Jade Beetles and got nothing!

All missions are worth it. The longer I get to play, the better.
But if I had to pick one, and one only... that would be the Prophecies mission Borlis Pass that Alexandra-Sweet had mentioned. I actually liked being in Ascalon...

Any mission where I come out unsatisfied. But that doesn't happen often.

I actually found GoM pretty fun. But I don't think I would've been as successful if I didn't have my flag/unflag keys bound to Z and X.

Hero: "Oh, so the Gods think I'm worthy, but you're not convinced, you arrogant overgrown iguana?!"

All the missions after reaching Lions Arch. Should of just relaxed and stayed in the new Ascalon settlement which was the reason for going there in the first place =(. If some chosen people got kidnapped thats the white mantles problem !

I think most bonuses are kind of stupid.. I'll do an list with 3 examples where I cannot see the profit. 
1-"" BONUS Recover the four pieces of Kilnn Testibrie's armor and return to his tomb."" (The Great Northern Wall)
what did he ever do to us?
2-"" BONUS Return the Tome of the Fallen."" (Nolani Acedemy)
Did we get paid? No. Did we get a super awesome FDS, like Rurik? NO!
We got nothing [email protected]%
3-"" BONUS Kill the Ice Drake. (Borlis Pass).""
yay we killed the dragon, and prevented them stone summit from unleashing it on Grooble's Gulch.
...Why?? They dont even unleash that fricken drake anyway, so leave him to rott in that cave saves alot of time for the hero...
eeek [email protected]%!!!
Though now when i took all time to make this list, i like the game even more hehe. It's not like im complaining hehe

You finish the mission but it feels so unrewarding.

Kill a ton of charr to find a horn that is supposed to be able to save Ascalon and then kill even more charr to take it out to a hill and blow on it.
Prince Rurik: "Oo it's raining"
Player: "Everyone in favor of going across the mountains and getting rurik killed on the way say aye."

I don't know what i was expecting, but wow, it was a hell'ava lot more than "ZOMG theyre fires r now owt, CHARGE!!1!!"

The Wilds. Never going for Protector of Tyria again. Oh and pretty much all Jungle missions. I MEAN WHAT THE HELL. I know we have to ascend, we know I can do it by the ship... Yet you go to the jungle to be eaten alive by spiders, scorpions, giant trolls, CENTAURS (WTF), some very angry people... And then you wasted 5 hours. WASN'T. THAT. FUN?!
In Factions - Zen Daijun. Oh God, why did we go to the temple FROM SO DAMN FAR?!
Look at it. JUST LOOK AT IT. I could have been there much faster from Seitung Harbor. They have messengers, flying eagles and all that crap, why didn't they just send us to Zen from Seitung?!
Nightfall - Zomg, Moddok Crevice. And the whole thing "Oh noes we have to go to Vabbi but there are soldiers guarding fortress of Jahai''. God damn it, just send like 10000 soldiers there from your allies, crush the fortress and we can go to Vabbi. But nooo, it's much more fun to go through damn caves that can collapse on you and kill you.
EotN - G.O.L.E.M's first part of the mission. What the hell? Couldn't they build those golems in Oola's Lab (I mean, it's not like destroyers would go there and find the secret entry), then teleport them on the Destroyers' asses. And why only 2? Why? You could create like 666 of them in 5 days then pwn their asses.
Oh, and core - killing Shard Wolves in the FoW. Why? Why us? They are easy, EASY. We already killed almost all enemies in the area, even now you are too afraid to kill few puppies? God, no wonder you lost FoW to Shadow Army and Undeads.

Hmmm Venta Cemetary seems pretty pointless...
'Hmm we have quite a few sunspear evacuees and wounded here...shall we send them to the safety of the Sunspear Sanctuary only a 5 minute stroll away?'
'Nah let's march them across the desert in plain view of all those guard towers. It's ok though, there's only 12 towers...well apart from the huge fort with the cannon that can hit them anywhere, and we have 8 people protecting them...And once they get to the boat guarded by that pirate lady we're not sure we can trust they should be ok!'
'...'
'Kourna doesn't have a navy...right?'

Elder – “Well, no one else supports us, and we’re outnumbered heavily, but go on in!”
Hero – “Balls deep!"
Dunkoro – “hey uh….this is a trap. We’re gonna get rolled.”
Kormir – “Yeah, and?”
Varesh – “Lawldemons”
Everyone – “Where’s Koss?”
Koss – “Baby, I should really be fighting over in Kourna, but I don’t want to leave you”
Rurik – “Hun, don’t worry, they got it.”

Speaking of crossroads, I just love how the kournans are smart enough to lock up their prisoners while still letting them keep their weapons.
Yeah so I'm just going to patrol out by this jail cell, completely oblivious to the fact that my ranger prisoner has a 5 foot longbow drawn with an arrow pointing straight at my head...

None were worth it if you look at GW2 lore. The whole world is in disarray! All the fighting and dying we did was for nothing.
As far as fun factor, I enjoyed them all. The tougher, the better.

Hey dont diss on Oink
Ice caves....WTF?
Any of the magumma jungle.
The wilds espicially.
killing your doppleganger........short but pointless.
Pretty much all of factions...espicially the islands ones and Nahpui Corridor....Kill random start creatures to become Closer to the stars in order to see some Bandit killer....i stilll hate that mission.
in NF it was the party mission even though it is one of my favorites just for the random funny lines you get out of there.
in GWEN. Why do we need to save Renk if he's just gunna send his second in command after us...sigh i hate the friggen midgets

Most of the NF missions are pointless in one way or another. Prophecies jungle missions too, but I enjoy them. Of course I enjoy root canals too.

In no specific order:
1. The Wilds - Run through the entire map to catch up to the shining Blade who kidnap some people that will be killed anyway.
2. Aurora Glade - Run crystals from point A to point B to point c and then point D before the White Mantel do. /yawn
3. Borliss Pass - Going to Kryta
4. Frost Gate - Going to Kryta
5. Gates Of Kryta - Get further into Kryta. Kill undead.
6. D'Alessio Seaboard - Kill more undead while searching for the Scepter of Orr.
7. Tihark Orchard - Boring single player mission to impress some Princes. Why? Are we experimenting with GW The Offline Edition?
8. Vizunah Square - Kill a bunch of diseased, horribly disfigured, exploding, homeless degenerates on your way to ascension while relying on a usually incompetent secondary team. Which of course, you have no control over. Awesome idea Anet!
9. Unwaking Waters - Pretty much the same failure of a mission as Vizunah Square except you get to kill a Dragon at the end. Which later becomes your ally.

Shadowmere
each campaign has one or two missions that just kind of made me go "huh?"
the one that stands out from proph is gates of kryta...our hero and whats left of the ascalon refugees just spent the last few days clawing their way through hordes of dwarves and centaurs only to get to a place with decent weather and be told you've got to kill hordes of undead before you can take a nap on the beach....I blame this on most npc's being horrendously lazy and refusing to do any of their own monster killing.
In factions the most pointless one for me seems to be vizunah square...I never really understood why we were fighting off endless hordes of zombies in that slum.
in Nightfall, probably the Nundu Bay one...mostly because despite melonni's raving nothing ever *actually* happened to the village...essentially we just took melonni to some kind of hypnotherapist and embarked on a weird adventure into melonni's subconcious.
there are some pretty rediculous quests too...one really stood out for me, after finishing nightfall with my derv I went out to the garden in vabbi since it was now back in pristine sunny condition I could do the quests therein...
I just found it really weird that somone would walk up to the hero that killed a god and saved the world from certain destruction and ask "hey could you take out my trash for me?"
