Guild Wars 2

Got a small question about dungeon time. As I don’t have a lot of time on my hands I usually just PvP, but lately I’m starting to like the idea of dungeons.
The only thing I’m worried about is I have to leave halfway trough..
I only ran AC once a few days after launch, and it took about 3 hours.. Which is waaaaay to long, so never really bothered after that.

So, my question is; How much time do most dungeons take with an average group of randoms?

I assume you only played AC in storymode, and a few day after launch a time of 2 or 3 hours was not so bad, for low level and not experienced people.
Dungeon time heavily depends on the randoms and on which dungeon you’re running.
Some explorable dungeons like AC (all paths), CoF (paths 1 and 2), TA (all paths) , and CoE (paths 1 and 2) are heavily pugged, so you can often get away with decent runs.
An average time for all AC paths can be 25-30 mins, CoF path 1 around 10 mins, CoF path 2 20 mins, CoE path 1 20-30 mins, Coe path 2 a bit longer than 1, all TA paths can be completed in 30 mins or less.
I’ve always been talking about random group times, ofc if you could find a guild to play dungeons it would be much better.
Also Arah path 3 is quite often pugged, so you could complete it in 40min-1 hour (I suggest you to not bother with paths 1-2-4 unless you are in a group of people you know.
Dungeons like CM, SE and Hotw are not difficult at all for experienced people, but I see them pugged less frequently and I cant say much about times as I never pug them.

20 min with ‘good’ randoms
30 min average randoms
40+ min with bad randoms
fail. with fail randoms (newbs who don’t know how to skip and bug NPCs)
also for below-average randoms path3 burrow part seems to be huge problem.
