I've been doing the easy ones, which take very little time. Mainly for the mount (Veil Escape Device or whatever it's called). Also, if you just get a few work vouchers, there are tradeskill mats you can get for 1 ticket each.
Agreed, as a Druid, and with a PoK book also right there, didn't see much point to the gate item.

PS - the easy two are kill four skellies, and kill four kobolds, can be done in 5 min, no travel involved. There are a couple more, that with just a bit of time involved, can get you 2 more.
