The point of the KP is to make PR a difficult place to be in. Its mats being so flexible means it they should be more difficult to obtain, thus the double HP of mobs and the KP. I leveled my PR solo from 100-250, all on usable mats. The trick is to learn where a given material is and when to dig it. Take the time to scout out the location that you want to dig in. If it needs, bring in a few friends and cull down the aggro. Use a KP target macro every node to be sure they aren't too close. If there's too much aggro, or the KP comes too close, find a different location to dig in. There's more than one region of PR for a reason. Some things are meant to be difficult. :)
