People doing the speed running are going to potentially be disappointed with the amount of people disrupting their progress, the only hope is to get 2 levels ahead of the pack where people will leave you alone.... if enough people get ahead of the pack it will just be the same thing in the next zones (fp->ec->nro/wc->oasis)
If you can be the first group in Befallen though -- I think you are on to something, get your keys, go deep as your level allows and just sit and XP, even with the respawn time the massive ZEM in there is probably worth just sitting and not fighting over mobs in oasis.
I also think freeport starting is smart for the next tier of zones too. Upper Guk is such a better dungeon than Unrest and I never understood its lack of players except for the main 3 camps. There is tons of mobs available in that zone that are just underused levels 12 all the way to the high 20s. It has better ZEM. The only downside is if you have to zone, getting out is hard. Every time I went to Unrest to level and it was uber crowded I would go over to Guk and there was maybe 1 group low level at scryer and maybe a high level group at LGuk zone-line, always seemed like a waste.
