Guild Wars weekend

Some of the missions last longer than that.

The explorable areas would seem to fit this need, but take everything that's wrong with WoW and most conventional MMOGs, multiply it by 10, and that describes them IMO.

Add to the fact that for quick co-op, while you don't have to waste 15 minutes of your life traveling to the same location as your friends, you might have to waste from 5 to 45 waiting for them to exit a mission, or else learn to play with pubs.

I thought he was talking about hopping in and playing alone.

I don't know what you experienced, but whenever I was in a party staging area I had to brush off a half a dozen party invites while waiting for someone. I think if you just wanted to hop on and hook up with a group and get going it would happed pretty quickly, if you didn't care who you partied with. If you insist on partying with friends, well you can either restart the mission, or wait.
