FYI: I don't have any solid proof that this occurs, it's just a hunch I have
Lately, I've been noticing that my exploration completion timers are in the hundreds, even when I complete the event from start to finish in less than a 10 hour period. It seems that every time I complete the same event a subsequent time, the time it takes me is always more than the previous time. I believe that every time I start an event, the event timer starts at the time I ended the previous iteration of the event rather than at 0.
