Funny thing is, if you don't page burn with an alliance...you end up with a respectable pile of Conquest Points. C-points tend to run thin when you just plunk yourself down in Gusgen and "exp" getting 3-4xp per mob while dinging on page bonuses.
Go solo-duo in Dangruf instead and you walk out at 24 with plenty of points, a pile of auctionable stuff, and ready to do 24-30 in Gusgen with actual gear and skill levels. Or go to Maze of Shak. instead and you've got yourself another 5-6 levels there that's easily done with small parties till 36 or so- or you can take that small bunch that you did Dangruf with (even solo) and go do 24-36 in Maze instead.
People run far too much on rails these days and miss the other dungeons that work rather nicely for single-PT vs. alliance groups.
