Gwen too short?

I don't know. Don't have it yet, I'll wait for the first nerfs to roll through and the first barrage of players quitting. Anyways, I was under the impression that the Preview Event wasn't wiped and as such might make it seem that people finished it that quickly but instead really just played a lot during the preview.

Again, the point the above posters were making was that the preview event counted towards the time. In other words, people got a head start, if you will.
My friends and I had Nightfall beaten a day or two after it came out. Would you say Nightfall was short? How quickly you beat the game is going to depend on how you play it and how good you are at it. There are guild groups (that you generally don't hear much about) that start playing from the second the content goes live and steamroll everything in a few hours.
I'm not saying that GWEN isn't short (I haven't played it beyond the preview event), but worrying about length based on a few people finishing the game quickly is unfounded.

Just because someone has the need to fly though every thing in the game doesnt mean its short, i would say they proabably didnt do most of the things in the game anyways. if i remember didnt someone hit 70 or 80 or whatever the cap is in WOW in like 12 hours and it took most of the other people a week or so? or something.

meh ..... I'm going to take my time, enjoy the scenery, do some side quests, max some titles. Then, when I get done with this character I'll start my others, or go back and help guildies, or green farm ...... you get the picture .... I'll find plenty to do for quite a while and won't whine about GWEN being "too short".

The key word there is "Apparently". Who told you they have finished GWEN? Be realistic, because its only been a day and I very much doubt anyone has finished it!!
Even if they have, then they probably rushed through it without doing every quest and exploring every area. They will have rushed to the end without doing everything.
But lets check the wiki (which tends to get updated very fast after a new campaign or update is added). Do we have images of end game GWEN armor? do we have information about every dungeon, outpost and area in GWEN? do we have photos of all racial armors?
The answer is no!
If loads of people had finished GWEN already, then that information would be there (IMO)!
I personally say its bull-crap and get proof before you assume that kind of thing. Its only been a few hours since it was opened and your already posting a thread bashing it for "apparently" being too short.
Until you, yourself finish it you cant really make a thread about this.
But even if it is completeable in just a few days or week, who cares? I finished factions and NF in a very short amount of time, yet months later Im still getting joy from playing them.
There is normal and hard mode!
Armors to collect!
Weapons to try out!
Exploration to do!
There is more to this game then just the storylines. Heres another point; you tell me a single game that exist today that isnt usually completeably within 24-48 hours of it being released?
Most FPS games can be done within hours.
Most RTS games can be done within days.
The storylines of most RPGs can be completed in a very short amount of time, once training is over.
Atleast GWs have a storyline to follow and a reason to play. If you compare it to WoW which has hours upon hours of gameplay to it, it has no actual storyline! The point of WoW is just to kill creatures, increase experience and level and to get better armor and weapons so you can move onto the next area. It has no story to push you on, just this want to be better then everyone else.

i havent finished it yet but looking at the map that came in the the box with GW:EN i can see it will be short.
The added land they put on to the tyria map for GW:EN made it look like it would be huge, but there is just a few places dotted accross the map still leaving lots of empty space.
Lets hope that with all that empty space still left we get a few updates like SF,the deep,UW ect,ect....

I wonder what some people in this thread would say if they bought Chessmaster 9000. They would play 1 game, say "Im finished, omg it was so short!" and then go to forum and whine.
Really, how long would it take for someone to finish Prophecies if he wanted to, asap? He could rush presearing, get ran to Sanctum Cay, get ran the mission, ran through the desert, beat doppleganger in 10sec (possible), get to Fire Islands, do few missions.. and woah - you did the Prophecies!
The fact that you didn't even discover Temple of Ages exists because it's not on the main road.... never mind that
