One thing, you are not forced to play these areas. Many games require hours infront of computers, that is how they work. I think with the addition of heros(and with the already here henchmen), it is not hard to go through an area for an hour, take a ~30min break, and come back for some more. I'm not saying you should give up, just don't make it a big deal (as I'm guessing Anet has some pretty good excuses or ways to get around being forced to do such a thing, they are being backed by NCsoft you know.)
Besides, not many areas take 4hours to do (maybe DoA/FoW/UW/deep/warren, but these are not req areas of the game). I don't know a single non-elite mission that takes 4hours...
