1) How much time will it take to complete? Just a general estimate.

2) Do you believe that it will be easy-ish to complete (with regards to finding groups)?

3) Is the new expansion worth the effort (in your opinion) to play?
1. A few days ago someone here on the forums mentioned that, from level 1 to 50 & HW unlocked, it took them 114 hours. This was skipping all cutscenes. As a tip, though... don't try to rush it. Just enjoy the story, take it in little chunks. Enjoy other things along the way too.

2. Mostly yes. My alt character did have trouble getting Garuda Story mode done through the DF (the auto group finder), and I had to ask my FC for help. So, finding a good FC can go a long way should you run into trouble.

3. Absolutely yes. Even if I end up quitting the game, I'll be coming back for the next expac on its story alone. If you're not really enjoying the story... maybe not, then. I can't really claim there's some superfun amazing content at the current endgame because even my current favorite thing (Thordan's Reign) is only fun if you enjoy raiding to begin with.
