I'm sorry but what's stopping you from doing something else while they do their quests? Nothing is forcing you to sit around doing nothing. Do your daily hunts, go gathering, visit the gold saucer, craft some things, do beast tribe dailies...I could go on for a while. My friends didn't feel pressured because I assured them they could take their time, and they knew I was doing other things I wanted to do while they did their quests.

Not been my experience at all. But then again I didn't sit around doing nothing while my buddies did their quests.

Two hours isn't a lot of time in a mmo regardless of whether you're doing msq or not.
