For playing in them, Qhue, or raiding through them? I've seen the random drops and exp there, and there's some nice stuff for folks who haven't already gotten to the point in the game where they'd be past those zones anyway. But those zones are pretty challenging for folks who are still pre-elemental. Everyone I know who can really stand a shot at surviving long enough to make the intro GoD zones worthwhile isn't too likely to be greatly impressed by what you can get single group there vs. say LDoN hard drops or the like. At best it's about lateral, except it's far easier to die in GoD due to random roamers/see invis, and far harder to get your corpse back.
Other than folks wanting an empty zone with challenge to get sub-planar exp, I'm not seeing the compulsion for just poking around in Qin/Riwwi/Barindu. Maybe I overestimate the level of gearing of the folks who could reasonably exp there though.
