Indeed, some of that sense of elapsed time between missions (even in arcs) originally was rooted in the idea that we would be spending time hoofing around between contacts and missions. Remember, despite the game launching with travel powers, they actually originally expected people to, essentially, street sweep from mission to mission. Beyond level 14, no appreciable number of players did that as far as I know. How that disconnect came about I'm not sure, but it didn't make sense even in late CoH beta.

Yeah, I recall that my habit was usually to grab three missions at a time. I still do to some extent, but not nearly as often.

Plus when on teams, we'd do a ton of everyone's missions and then get more.
