For newly capped players I recommend farming Elite Ren'gol. The Gold Elite Runner Chests, Intact Fangs, and all the other goodies are point for point just shy of 100%GL. For newer players, just by following the quest line you should have nearly enough to buy a Lepre by the time you start farming Forgotten Citadel for EXP. The locks, in addition to the *about* 600 Glintcoins you would make from farming until 61 should give you adequate gold (if you sell your Lepre, which has a pretty stable value) to buy your first 100%GL set if you choose to run Maus for pure gold rather than Elite Ren'gol.
The expansion, however limiting it may seem, is balanced and fair. Although it takes gold to run, it is free daily. I think that's important, especially regarding newly capped (61) players. The Dreamscape is the fastest map to earn EXP, but I can not stress enough the importance of ranking up in Somberholt to be able to play competitively. This isn't some corporate greed conspiracy theory, it's just smart design.
