I can only speak for myself, cause I know all to well that my views don't work for most people. ^_^; (which makes me right and them wrong.

)
I'd personally view the journey to Omni-Ent parties as a journey, and a challenge. ^_^ But getting ganked a few times would make the average player/listener veer away pretty quickly I'm sure. I myself would work that play field every which way with sneaking, bolting around, whatever. ^_^ I'd find a way in, with or without help from an Engi.
(I know for a fact my idea of fun doesn't corospond with other players. Alot of times I'd go out to the boonies to explore. Sometimes I'd take whole teams that I talked into some good ol' exploration. I'd be having loads of fun seeing new things, but they'd be torn up cause they hadn't lvl'd up in an hour or whatever. ^_^ *sigh*)
