Shorter isn't better in my book, and I absolutely detest the trend toward shorter, lighter games.Metaphorically, I'd rather watch a single 3-hour film, rich with developed characters and dialog and action than catch six insipid prime-time sitcoms. In game terms, I'd rather play one great five hour game than fifteen meaningless games of crap like Dominion.
This *is* a playgroup thing, but it's not about player type. It's about values. In life, people make time for the things they value or appreciate. The people I game with value and appreciate longer games so they make the time to meet and play them. It's a bummer that you and your group don't, but it's not the fault of the game.
