Sigh. Reread my posts. At these levels, in this area, you get adds of skeletons and goblins that roam around. Guards are needed to get them off of you until you're high enough level to kill them. Normally, you can blast through those levels with absolutely no issue, having to only use the guards a handful of times. But with no guards, the only option is to run for the zone, and that's a bit of a run from crossroads. Time consuming, and you can die before getting there. But mostly it's the time thing. Basically, without guards you can't level a newbie character in a timely fashion in BB, and so it has become useless to characters at that level.
