After quitting the game for about one year to stop my attidction, I think it's save to play it again and I wonder why there are so few speedrunners of this game. There are many possibilities and it has no annoying cutscenes you can't skip. Although there are many people who run others from place to place there're no speedruns, sort of this one: http://gw.buffed.de/artikel/artikel.php?id=368 (5,5 hours)
A German guild did a group run of Prophecies, but it's not really optimized (PUG runners and the like) and without video, it was meant to inspire others, but without any effect it seems.

About the many possibilities I talked about, I can think of these:

with fresh chars:
Prophecies solved
Prophecies 100% (all missions + bonus)
same with Factions, Nightfall & Eye of the North

with leveled chars:
Elite missions
Individual levels of the cooperative missions

All of them could be done with groups and alone (with henchmen and heroes).
So why did nobody try that yet? It may be very straightforward, but a lot of fun, especially in a group. And certainly more than grinding titles or money brainlessy.

I want to get used to GW again a bit, before I try for real, but I think I'll at least do some mission speedruns.

Last time I checked, they did this sort of thing, they were called "PvP Characters"

I sense some sarcasm in your post.
